I work 9-5 as a marketing exec and have two kids under ten - with no nanny. It is a struggle, but I have found that perspective has made all the difference. 'This is only a few month crunch,' is my mantra. I try to stay consistent with my study schedule and cut myself slack if life dictates a deviation. It is nearly impossible to find a silent place to study at home, so I spend a lot of time in the public library on weekends and after work hours. I recommend spending a chunk of time in the library; it's quiet with no distractions, and I always leave with large gains in skills and points.
I fit in 3-4 hours of studying when work ends (M, T, TH). I WFH on Fridays and sneak in a couple of extra hours. Saturdays and Sundays I spend at the library/cafes from 11-5.
I do timed drills on M & T, take a test on TH, review areas of weakness, and drill them on F & Sa, then take a new test on Sa/Sun then review where I need to improve. This system has worked well for me. I also recommend doing 35 min sections in your weakest area as practice. If you are OK with killing some exams it's worth it!
Interesting with the 30 min timed sections someone suggested. Will try that!
