for one, commit to one good hour of studying a day. you'll often see people online who tell you to take 3+ hours a day to study; these schedules are formulated for people who are either 1. still in school/part time employment, e.g. more time on their hands) 2. have only 3-4 months to study and get their lsat score (you have 9!) in my opinion, regardless of your time availability, one good hour a day is more conducive to a good score than 3 mid hours. i personally studied about 1 hour a day for 6 months and in jan got a 166 off (152 diag), retaking in april!
i've heard of many people who study in the morning before work but i'm personally not a morning person. i tend to study after dinner and a walk when i feel a little less dead from work. if you don't mind mornings/find you're most mentally recharged in the morning rather than later in the day then knock yourself out. overall block out some time that you're consistent with
finally, give yourself grace lol. if you have a shitty day take it easy. if oyu're concerned abt slacking off, AT LEAST engage with the lsat once a day, so like one single question a day. that way on bad days you're still doing something. alternatively, convince yourself this test is easy and you actually love the material. your brain is very plastic and your neurochemistry is easy to fool. every topic you get on rc from now on is super fun and right up your alley. that's more of a general tip tho and how i find myself looking forward to lsat time
good luck! if my advice was helpful i wrote up a huge doc of my tips for all my friends taking the lsat, dm me for it if you'd like :D
