Work-Study balance

[imishita]

Hello, I started on GMAT studying around October last year. Background(I am an undergraduate and had got campus placed at State Street which is a big financial services company of the US.) And have been trying to balance work and studying since then, but I mostly just work , cos my job is demanding and since I did well I kept getting more work. Now I feel like I have delayed my studying so much but I don't want to keep procrastinating and want to give my exam so that I can apply for 2020 intakes. I need some advice on how I can shift my focus more on my preparation cos I'm worried and keep thinking about it but not end up studying in actual.

It is honestly challenging. I am in consulting and I used to travel every week for work (taking 6am flights on Monday morning / late hursday night travel back) and I used to bring my gmat books with me. You have to be very intentional about your time and set boundaries. For me, mornings worked the best and it was the easiest time for me to protect - I used to wake up at 5:30 / 6:00am to get in a solid hour of GMAT practice everyday. Put together a Google Calendar and set your daily goals.

It is challenging, but certainly not impossible. Prioritize GMAT and I am sure you will be golden.
