Making my brutal return from my month off (it was AMAZING) and my trip to Mexico. Ready to come at BEC and actually get one this round, before I start my retakes.

Plan is to shoot for 20 hours a week. I have always been an ELL person, but this time I will attempt to get up at 5 (yeah, I know that's the norm for most of you) and do 2 hours, one at lunch, and maybe one at night. I think my tendency to want sleep more than this exam has set me back, because then I get home, and working out or getting some hours hanging with my boyfriend take importance.

Also, I won't totally cut myself off from fun, but if I do go out, I will make sure I have my goal covered beforehand.

Wasn't there some book called Eat That Frog or something about getting your largest task done early in the morning to stay productive all day?

Any other candidates forcing themselves to become morning people?

@hustlin

i am yes. I get to work about 1-1.5 hrs earlier and use that time to study, plus lunch, its good to know i have 2-2.5 in before i even get home….either way…stay focused and keep doing the best u can, its all you can do.

What type of study materials are you using? Whats your hours of study plan on the weekeneds?

BEC- 67, 69

[HustlinHustlin]

I'm using Becker as my base, Wiley Test Bank and Ninja Notes. I am planning to get at least 3 hours in on Saturdays and Sundays, give or take, depending on reaching my goals. One important thing I am learning is that if there is a weekend function causing me to be unable to study, I really need to bust my @ss through the week…

Anyone from San Francisco studying REG?

[littlenumberrobot]

@hustlin and Journey

I have found my focus in the mornings so much stronger than evenings. I get to work and study for an hr, an hr at lunch and the 2 in evening if I go to library for my long study days. So far I already feel like I am covering alot, but just need to keep it all fresh.

I agree with littlenumber…I find the morning time is more productive, after working all day my brain is just tired in the evening and I can't do too much.

[HustlinHustlin]

Welp, set my coffee to turn on at 5:30 am, went to sleep early, excited to dominate the morning, and even had a dream I was running a race and had infinite energy.

…Then my alarm went off…..at 6:45, my non-studying wake up time.

FML. No idea how it didn't save when I set it. Looks like I will be up early tomorrow on my day off.

Oh dang! Sorry to hear @hustlin. At least the coffee was up and going to help smooth things over in the morning.

Is everyone studying more tomorrow or taking the day off to rest(4th of July)? I am studying in the morning(NOT as early) I wont get any additional hours just the usual 4 if I would had done my plan with work and library. Then I will go to family BBQ.

Gliem book, MCQ software, coffee, booze, insanity. This is my study plan.

[pacific1]

I will be studying tomorrow…in between a 5K and a family BBQ in the afternoon so I am hoping to get a good 5 hours in, I wish it could be more but no way I can get out of the family BBQ.

[littlenumberrobot]

I wish I could study more too…. but the free food is worth stepping out in the real world and seeing the family HA!
