Managing Work and Exam Prep: A Working Professional's Guide
For many working professionals, this will make a difference in terms of continuing education or the successful clearing of competitive exams. However, the most daunting thing with juggling a full-time job and rigorous exam preparation would probably be a fill-in-the-blank activity: “I feel like I’m taking two full-time jobs right now.” The solution lies in good time management, strategic planning, and an optimistic attitude. So, this is your guide-on-how-to for making it through this tough time and seeing your aspirations come into fruition without sacrificing your performance at work.
Setting Clear Goals
Objective setting is really important. Ask the question:
- Which exam do I need to prepare for?
- What is the expected score/rank?
- What period is available now for preparation?
Create short-and long-term targets and build possible milestones to achieve that. E.g., if your target is SSC CGL, set targets at the end of the month for a certain section, such as Quantitative Aptitude or General Awareness.
Creating a Realistic Schedule
For that properly organized plan which can aid you well in utilizing your time precisely, take these following steps:
- Evaluate Your Daily Routine: Identify time slots to dedicate to study—early morning, evening, or weekends.
- Establish Priorities: No Divide Time For the Most Difficult Subject or Unit.
- Effective Moments But Use: There are Lunch Breaks or Commutes to Be Used for Short Revisions or Watching Educational Videos.
- Stick to Plan: Be Consistent and Avoid Procrastination.
