For me it really helped that I worked from home, so I could study during lulls. But I essentially shut down all other parts of my life. Almost every moment I wasn't working I was doing something LSAT related. I agree with the other commenter that you need to make a schedule for yourself and stick to it. I hired a tutor so he was helpful in keeping me accountable, but setting a realistic schedule for yourself that you know you will stick to is paramount. The other thing that held me accountable was the fact that I had to succeed no matter what. Law school is my only plan for when my work contract is up, so I had to make sure I was putting in all the effort I could to score my very best. I willingly sacrificed my personal life to do this. There might be a better work/study/life balance than what I came up with, but I just did what I felt was right for me. Also, my state has continuously been hit hard by COVID so I was less inclined to be out anyway. Aside from studying during lulls, I did dedicate specific hours to just studying the LSAT. I, like the other commenter, studied in the mornings before work because I knew I would be too drained after work to accomplish anything. My tutor forced me to take one day off from work and studying. I resisted it at first but I found that, that one day reset actually really helped me stay focused on the other days and sort of let the information sink in. Hope all of this helps!
