"over the course of my degree I had conditioned myself to spend every waking moment working"
I'm pretty sure that's not the best way to actually maximise performance - in the same way that even professional athletes don't spend 100% of their time training. You need recovery periods and, I find, breaks for stuff to actually sink in.
- helen___keller 7y agoSure, I don't disagree. I learned a lot about working more efficiently after graduating and forcing myself to work strictly 9-5. Fact is, when you have weekly assignments in 4 classes that each require many hours to complete, it's easy to find yourself in a cycle of coding until 3 am only to realize you have to do it again the next day to finish a math problem set. My point is just that "hard to get in, easy to graduate" does not meet my experience at all.
- arethuza 7y agoIt wasn't my experience either, but my wife certainly had that experience at the UK law school she went to - which was rather more prestigious then the relatively humble uni we both did our first degrees at.
