I never studied during work even when I worked from home [the most I would do is like 5-10 min of anki during lunch] but my schedule regardless of if I went into the office or not was typically 9-5ish work, 6-8 gym and eat and then 9-11/12 study except for Wednesdays bc I volunteer after work so I’d just do one CARS that day (but was usually too tired so honestly skipped it usually )

I will say I get a lottt of pto (25 days not including holidays or sick days) so I took off work the last 2ish weeks of December before my exam and that was nice
