Watch every Rhoton lecture. Try to learn Spanish (use duolingo).

Learn some other skill or pick up a hobby. You'll spend most of your time in residency learning neurosurgery on the job or when you go home and study for boards. I'd ignore all neurosurgery now, pick up a topic or hobby outside of medicine.
For me, i got into finance and investing, reading books, starting a (very) small fund to play with. It's nice to unwind every now and then with something completely unrelated to neurosurgery or medicine in general.

Rhotons for anatomy, Greenberg for disease entities and treatments. Osborne’s isn’t bad, I found it somewhat slow reading. Also “neurosurgery explained” isn’t a bad resource considering it’s an absurdly easy and fast read, and very cheap

Would say Osborn’s over Greenberg. Greenberg is just not useful tbh.
