A week or so after someone buys Maximize Your Time and Efficiency (MYTE), I send out a few questions. I got this back from Kay just last week which is perfect because MYTE is just one small part of the PA Week Package

Hi Brian,
I’ve been utilizing the skills I learned with MYTE for long enough now that I finally feel like I can accurately review it!
1) What was the obstacle or hesitation that would have prevented you from purchasing MYTE?
The price of course. As a student I don’t have extra money just lying around. I’ve wasted money on resources in the past out of desperation to find something that would help me better manage my time. Ultimately, I decided that even if I did spend the money on MYTE and it didn’t help me, I’d consider it a donation to you for all the work you put into your free podcasts.
2) What did you find as a result of going through the course?
At first…nothing! Because I watched the videos, said “wow, this is great information,” then forgot about it. This is not a quick fix and you have to put the work in to see results. However, after rewatching it and implementing all the tips, I found that I continuously improved in my ability to be productive in smaller amounts of time.
3) What specific feature did you like most about MYTE?
I liked that it is succinct and jam-packed with useful information. I could have found all this information on my own through tons of research and reading multiple books on time management (however, I would never have done this because I didn’t think I had the time!) Brian did the research for us, weeded through all the fluff, and formatted an easy to follow plan.
4) What would be three other benefits from MYTE?
1.You are learning habits to set yourself up for lifelong productiveness.
2. Purchase supports a fellow PA
3. More time to spend with your loved ones.
5) Would you recommend MYTE to PA students? If so, why?
Yes, if you’re willing to put the work in and can afford it. Like I said, it’s not a quick fix, so don’t waste your money if you aren’t going to put the work in. It is definitely aimed more towards working PAs prepping for PANRE or second year students closer to taking their PANCE. However, the general principles can be applied to anyone. I’m glad I found MYTE at the beginning of my clinical year. I have been using this time to learn the study habits
6) Is there anything you’d like to add?
Thank you Brian for all you do for the PA student community!
Sincerely,
Kay M. PA-S2

So, the best thing I learned overall is the value of TIME—or should I say, learning how to be ACTIVE in my time.
Simply put, the concept you shared that, “work expands to fill the available time for completion”, says it all for me. Taking MYTE has taught me how to not just set boundaries for myself, but HOW to utilize those boundaries so that time is not endless, because it certainly isn’t in PA school!!
Before this course, nothing I did got me to take and utilize my time seriously. For some reason, no matter how many study timers I set, schedules I made, or how at risk I knew my grades were, I couldn’t get myself to adhere to it. If the timer went off before I felt like I was “done”, I would simply just keep going….and going.. and going. I knew this was the problem, yet could not fix it. I couldn’t understand why or what was wrong with me.
Of course I just said, and truly thought, I just did not have enough time. But your course said it all— it’s not that don’t have enough time to complete things, but that I’m not making it enough time. Sounds so simple, but as you know, it really is not. So THANK YOU for making me finally see this AND finally know how to approach this.
I am currently wrapping up my 2nd semester of didactic year and have to do pretty much perfectly on my finals next week, given my performance first semester. Otherwise, I will be dismissed from my program for not having a high enough GPA (it has been quite a stressful few months!!!). I know I could do it though, but now with your course, I really know I could do it! I am so thankful I stumbled upon MYTE just in time to tackle my last few exams of the semester and am so much more confident about how I will do!
After finals I would love to share with you a little more about my journey and more ways your course has helped me. Until then though, if you have any other pieces of advice to give before my finals begin, please let me know !!!! I could take all I could get!!
Thanks so much for all your help, you are great!

Hi Brain,
First, I just wanted to update you and let you know how much I crushed my finals. I got more A’s this week than basically all of PA school- my LOWEST grade was an 88, which I cannot say the last time that was the case. It felt amazing to finally do so well and I very much know your advice helped me achieve my goals and unlock my true potential. I am actually excited to start my last didactic semester as I have so much more confidence now. Thanks so much for your help with the MYTE course.
Thanks so much,

These are just two examples, but I think enough is enough.
I know I can help. I know it because I’ve helped thousands of other PA-Cs.
I know this is the lowest price and the best package I’ve ever put together.
Now it’s up to you. You have a few hours left to decide. The link is right there for you to click.
