😖 Frustrated

Overcoming Burnout

Hi, everyone! I'm between jobs right now and am taking advantage of the situation by studying full time. It's been 3 weeks, and while I'm making progress, I'm starting to feel the burnout creeping in. It's getting harder to force myself through the drills--the days just feel so monotonous. In an attempt to help, I've been studying at different cafes each day and started volunteering at my local animal shelter, but I'm still having trouble. I'm taking the LSAT in September and still have a month or so before starting my new job, and I want to optimize this free time as best as I can.

Does anyone have any tips for overcoming burnout? Any thoughts are appreciated!🩷

Why does negating the idea automatically make it the sufficient condition? How does it work out that the other idea becomes the necessary condition? I'm using the rule and it works every time, but I just don't really understand why.

@LSATKilla87 Ah, you're right--I accidentally typed July. According to this link (https://www.lsac.org/LSATdates), the 2026-2027 testing year starts in August. I think you should push the test until then. Don't rush the process!!

Would you be open to doing a July, August, or September date? It's my understanding that you can most certainly take your test after June 2026 and still apply for the 2026-2027 cycle (that's what I'm doing, after all!). I can't imagine how challenging it must be with kids, a full time paralegal job, and burnout from both. Definitely don't rush the process--you might end up regretting the June date if an Aug/Sept date would give you a higher score. Good luck--you got this!!!
