Acing the LSAT: Productive Studying &
The toughest part about studying while having a full-time job is getting started. I have the desire to achieve a high LSAT score but I get distracted by friends, family, Netflix and Instagram. Â
I think I have figured out the best tactic to get over the lack of focus.Â
I created a detailed monthly calendar and 30-min weekly schedule sheet.
Details page numbers, practice exams, and LSAT sections
goals should be both realistic and challenging so that you don't get easily bored and fully benefitÂ
The 30-Min Weekly Schedule
Details studying time slots and gym time
Second Step: Find Your Space and/or Your Study Buddy
Your space should have a desk or a wide table with a comfortable chair
How does your room, library, or apartment’s study areas make you feel?
Can you operate at full optimum in a quiet space or an area with medium volume?
My favorite space is my living room where I have a great view of the city and low volume.
Your study buddy should have 3 qualities
Holds you accountable for missing study dates
So far since graduating my Uni, I have two study buddies: my boyfriend (studying CPA) and one of my friends (studying master’s at Georgetown).
Third Step: Study-Fun Balance
Studying is self-care because you are steps closer to achieving a bigger goal which contributes to more self-esteem. Having “productive” fun is also another 1/3 of self-care while studying is 2/3.Â
This means you should spend 1/3 of your free time from work to engage in “productively” fun activities such as reading, going to the museum, and having dinner with your family or friends.
Productive fun is about learning and connecting with the outside world in order to see the bigger picture of why you are studying in the first place.
Currently, I read Becoming by Michelle Obama for productive fun
Fourth Step: Don’t Be Hard on Yourself
“Tomorrow’s promises become yesterday’s failures!”
It’s never too late to get started right now! Remember promises are the difference between today and tomorrow.Â
Finally: Start the 100 Days of Productivity Challenge
Print out 14 sheets of 30-min Weekly Schedules (100 Days / 7 days = 14 weeks)
Goal: Complete all 14 sheets and shade in your study-time with red pen
I aim to shade in all my study-time slots from Monday to Sunday for 14 weeks.
I have to complete a total of 31 hours a week. If I miss an hour or more, I will make sure to add that hour or more to my weekend schedule.
NEVER EVER miss the 31-hour goal. Make sure to complete 31-hours before the next week.
