I don't drink coffee until 90 minutes after I wake up, I never sacrifice sleep, food, or exercise for extra work time, and I always position my computer screen at a certain height. Why do I do these weird things? I found 13 things in peerreviewed articles and from anecdotal experience that destroy productivity. In this video, I'll tell you those 13 things so you can avoid them.

Who am I:

My name is Zach. I’m a fourthyear medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post it either on YouTube or on my website (https://zhighley.com/​​).

I write a weekly newsletter (https://zhighley.com/newsletter/​​) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 4,000+ that read it every Sunday morning.
