Honestly, applying to law school has forced me to practice better habits. Most definitely. For me my biggest issue was drinking (still is, if we're being honest).
Ultimately it came down to me asking myself, "Jacob, would you rather pause the drinking for a few months so you can get your law application completed? Or would you rather drink for that time and not submit any law application ever?"
Considering that question in either/or terms forced me to recognize what's important. It forced me to ask myself, "What do I want out of life? Would I rather drink, never apply to law school, and then spend the rest of my life wondering what would have happened if I did? Or would it be worthwhile for me to buckle down, get a grip on things, and find out what I'm really made of?"
Regardless of the outcome of my applications, this has been a good for me. I've learned a lot about myself.
JY what about sex? Should I practice abstinence 2 months leading into the exam? That extra testosterone might get me that 5 point increase I'm looking for.
This is great. It could be helpful for this section to also be featured somewhere in the beginning of the course, so that you can keep it in mind for later on, and then maybe repeated again in this section (meaning, remain where it is now) as a reminder before beginning prep tests. One of my favorite features of 7Sage is that while you have outlined and specified your suggested method of approaching the course, users are free to move on/look ahead/go back and review as they please.
As someone who takes advantage of this flexibility, I would have really loved to read this sooner!
Thanks for creating such an accessible and thorough course :)
Early on in my LSAT prep I learned how important it is to go for a run when I get up, before starting my prep work. If I run, eat a solid breakfast and consume a small amount of caffeine I'm the the sweet spot. If I skip any of these I'm either too nervous and scattered to focus or too sluggish to go fast. I write my exam in October and I am SURELY going for a run first. I think if I skip this I'll have too much nervous energy to focus.
I'll advocate for Meditation Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) all day, every day. It works. I've been practicing it for the past few months as I transition out of the Military, and it has paid dividends with handling stress and anxiety.
I wouldn't use paper. Get used to staring at a screen for four hours straight with timed tests. It can be straining on your eyes if you are not used to it. Just my opinion though.

heavy on this
Battle cry: FOR JY!!!!!!!!!!
reads novel in bed and wakes up early

See the movie "Bull Durham" HA!
I feel like this would be a good introduction, before the core curriculum! still glad this is included though!
Agreed!! I wish this would have been at the beginning!
Seriously !! Wish i had seen it in chapter one
Jesus christ, no alcohol for two months?! I gotta find healthier habits :[
Why the hate on black tea? Nothin like a nice cuppa earl gray...
The only modern purpose of black tea is as a vessel for bergamot intake, as in Earl Grey.
All other black tea is obsolete and only functions to stain teeth unnecessarily while providing a weak-ass caffeine solution (as opposed to coffee).
Green tea is superior. Check it.
Man this is a lil savage.....

Good luck on your journey!
In step 5, please capitalize "God." For anyone who is religious, we thank ya'll.
#help
Y’all
It would actually be "y'all" because it is lowercase! lol but nice try! =) happy LSAT-ing!
She's saying it's spelled y'all not ya'll lmfao
Yeah, and I'm saying it wouldn't be capitalized in that context lol.
That's exactly what your response to @charlee.vance-1-1-1 gives
Did you like your own comment? lmfao
#feedback Not sure if it's just me or the new version of 7Sage, but I don't see the meditation audio files any more!

Um... Maybe not jogging. But I could probably get back into Yoga or dance games again for a bit.
I am so glad to have found 7sage! i love the holistic approach.
Needed a reminder of these, thank you! Really puts into perspective the toll the LSAT has on the mind and body
and what about food? ))) no food at all? only coffee/tea?
Caffeine *helps...
I am glad to see that the aspects of Hinduism, the oldest religion in the world is here. Meditation works people!
Love the holistic approach to studying. It's so true that a healthy lifestyle really benefits your studies.
Is there any we can download these meditation audio files?
#help should we still be printing out exams even though they will be now on computers?? I dont know how I should be taking them!
i need answers!
I am wondering the same!
I wouldn't use paper. Get used to staring at a screen for four hours straight with timed tests. It can be straining on your eyes if you are not used to it. Just my opinion though.
Thank you for the guided meditations

Hey, I was going to ask the same thing. It is 7 months since that comment you made. is the 9 and 24 minute mediation clips available for download now?
