The impetus that led me to post a new thread questioning my sense of purpose and direction was this:
these books came in the mail today. they are the material that i have to study from now until June in order to prep for the CFA exam. With the last bit of live cashout money I signed up for this exam (fucking $1000 for a test + books lol).
tonight i'm going to set up a strict schedule for the coming months, during which i will attempt to balance studying these books, my last semester of college, my job at the school's finance department office, and poker. Next semester, I have class all day during tuesdays and thursdays. i think i'll limit my schedule so that i work only on wednesdays or something (the pay is absolutely pathetic but it's useful for reference purposes). other than that, i will have a 4-day weekend, during which i can freely mix up my schedule between poker and the cfa exam. I have NEVER in my life been a follower of schedules but let's see how a shift in gears will improve my life.
lol... all i need to do now is figure out how to keep myself the fuck away from my degen buddies.

One of my mates is doing the CFA atm, he says the exams are like 6hours long and not open book and held at the exact same time internationally, is this true? |

a few pointers for what it's worth...
If you're having trouble sticking to a schedule, do your best to analyze the problems and work at them mentally. People aren't built to sit and concentrate for more than like 90 minutes, and it's physically impossible (without drugs, maybe fight-or-flight, I guess) to maintain an optimal for longer than that.
Get more exercise, time breaks. Get a lot of sleep. What's been working for me is biphasic sleep so the waking hours are a lot more concentrated / easy to dedicate to certain activities.
gl, hope this works out for you |
