Couple of things

first: It is pretty normal to have trouble maintaining a consistent schedule when you first start because you are developing a new habit and developing new habits take some time to get used to. The key is to maintain the habit consistently within a month or so you won't need motivation to study it will become second nature like brushing your teeth.

Second: The foundational lessons are super boring, they are like university lectures they are low stakes and you are just sitting there (hopefully taking notes). Once you are done with the lessons and the drilling starts you will find it much easier to study because it will be necessarily engaging.

All that is to say be consistent and you find it is not that hard to study after a while.

I mean sort of, once you do enough problems you will intuitively know how to approach each problem and you instantly recognize them. But I think it is far more important to approach each problem looking for assumptions, implications, etc. because it will make all problem types easier to do. For an example if you see a weakening problem that has a conclusion with premises derived from an experiment then it is better to approach a flaw in the experiment as though it is an assumption the argument is making as opposed to a cookie cutter formula. Doing it the former way will make it way easier to do all sorts of different problems.

I can't believe J.Y. described short selling as a part of an explanation, never thought I'd see the day.

Without a doubt yield protect those softs would be fantastic for someone below both medians at Wake. I just cannot imagine a universe in which they legitimately WL you, unless you are a multiple felon or something.
