Hi everyone! Winter is here, finals are over, and I'm really feeling the lack of motivation. I find myself studying so much but not retaining a lot because I feel like I'm just dragging along. How many hours are you putting in daily? How many days off should I aim for? I feel like I'm constantly catching up.

Burn out is very real, if you are feeling burnt out taking a day off or even just studying for 1 hour instead of your usual amount can help. LSAT Prep in addition to a usual course load can be draining on anyone. Starting with your first point, Retention isn't super easy to track on the LSAT, there is too much variance in a questions stimulus. Over time you should see improvement in smaller areas, less questions wrong on lower difficulties, more time left over at the end of sections, etc. I am putting somewhere between 6-8 hours a day into prep, and usually give myself a day to lighten the load (usually for Redzone on Sundays). Determining your best schedule depends largely on you, how much time you have to study, how you work best, etc.
The LSAT does have a way of making you feel like you are always "behind," and perhaps you are, though unlike your classes with Finals, there is no memorizable material to take into test day (No formulas, important dates, etc.). You have your strategies and your gut, spend time developing each one and over time you will feel less "behind." Walking into test day you should feel confident in your preparation, that is about all you can ask for. It is important to consider when you are signed up for/plan on taking the test, if it is in January you will have to push past the burnout, as time is running out. If you have the luxury of time, pacing yourself can be a huge help. Unfortunately these are questions only you can answer, but I hope my response has helped you in some way or another.
I am so bad at this, but you wont believe me, I am studying for at least good 6-7 hours a day, almost everyday. but I am stuck in 140s. IDK my brain cant comprehend lsat i guess.
Not sure if you're taking the January test or not, but it's okay to take a break! I work full time and after a busy week, I just don't bother with studying for a few days. Maybe I'll do a few questions (like 2-3) to remember what the LSAT is like, but rest is important!
Lifestyle changes, running, excersise, eating healthy, cold showers, passion reading etc might help out, Take care of your brain and body and it will take care of you. but obviously still study. Deep learning dosn't always mean the longer you study the more the more you learn, you can learn alot in a short amount of time but i believe your brain needs to be in its most optimal healthy state for that to occur ie lifestyle changes.
