Notifications, scrolling, TikTok, Insta, texts… they all eat up HOURS without you realizing. 🚫
Here’s how to fight back:
🔒 Keep your phone in another room
🚫 Turn off notifications & delete distracting apps
⏱️ Use alarms for study + break times
🧠 Stick to your schedule
Remember: Every distraction steals your focus, and focus = progress. 💯
👉 How do YOU manage phone distractions while studying?

Not everyone has months of dedicated study time for Step 1… and that’s okay! 🙌
The key is knowing how many hours YOU can study each day and scaling up gradually. ⏳
➡️ Start small.
➡️ Build consistency.
➡️ Push toward 10–12 hrs/day if you’re in full dedicated mode.
Remember: Step 1 prep is a marathon 🏃♂️, not a sprint. Time management + efficiency = success! ✅

In this interview, we sit down with Dr. Yazan Abboud (Damascus → Rutgers NJMS IM → incoming UCLA GI fellow) to break down exactly how IMGs can match into Internal Medicine even if Step 1 is pass/fail. We cover Step 2 CK strategy, when Step 3 helps (and when it can hurt), how to use research the right way, getting strong letters of recommendation, and maximizing U.S. clinical experience (observerships, externships, electives).
