Trying to Shake Vacation Mode

I recently came back home after some traveling and have a little over a week before starting my new job. The weather has also been very beautiful in Cambridge, and after a long cold winter I am soaking in the beautiful weather. All of this has contributed to my still feeling like I am in vacation mode. Admittedly, I am not in study mode and it's been a painful process trying to get back on track. It's been hard to stick to the 'at least 15 mins of studying a day' rule. But I know I'll have to stay on track with this because once my job starts my time will be limited to evenings and weekends and I want to get some of the harder, bigger sections out of the way first.
So, today I am on the tail-end of studying maternity. I spent part of a transcontinental plane ride reading the Leik book and Fitzgerald prep book. Today I read a chapter on maternity in my physical examination & health assessment book by Jarvis, looked at some practice questions in Hollier & Wirf's Certification Prep exams book. Next, I plan on reading what Fitzerald has to say on the topic and calling it a wrap.
I think after this I will move on to the body systems (HEENT, cardiac, respiratory, endocrine, etc) or to review antibiotics, as this is something that I will need to memorize and know. It's difficult to get into the swig of things, but I've already had a relaxing vacation and now it's time to get back to work (easier said than done) but keeping focused on my goal to pass the boards with flying colors!!!
