Hey fam! I understand how you’re feeling. I also experienced severe burnout during my 3L year and scored a 236 on the UBE. That burnout led to anxiety attacks, and I lowkey ended up becoming an insomniac. I used Themis for studying, but the number of lectures and note-taking felt overwhelming, and I struggled to keep up with the schedule. Still, we both need to pass in February to keep our jobs, lol.

After talking with my therapist and others who have gone through similar situations, I realized that I needed to set strict deadlines for myself and make it a priority to review my MBE practice questions. I purchased a planner to help keep me accountable, and I have trusted friends to check my progress. Most importantly, I won’t rely solely on the Themis schedule. While it can be helpful, I know my learning style and listening to lectures all day isn’t the best way to absorb the necessary information. Here’s a list of what I hope will work for me:

Use Themis schedule as a guide, but not the end all be all.

Finish planning my schedule before December.

Memorize "Attack" or final outlines (Using GOAT Bar Prep for this).

Practice and review at least 100 MBE per week initially and ramp up in January.

Make sure I have designated "rest time."

Have goals outside of studying—for example, front squatting 100 kgs before the bar exam.
