Cpa Core 1

So I feel like I have everything adequately set up to study. Securexam, all the files that were provided.

I'm ready to study. But honestly, I haven't gotten around to it, because I've been busy with my girl. And

also really didn't feel like it.

Anyways. I'm just going to use this blog to track my progress. I think it should be a very good motivator.

it's currently 1:16 AM. And while most people go to bed at this time, I've created a sleeping pattern that

helps me function during this time.

So the plan is to leave to study at 1:25 AM. Then work for how many hours? Well last time I worked for

an hour and 15 minutes straight. Okay you may not think it's that long, and... You're probably right! The

core 1 exam is 3 hours long, and I think when the time comes, I will definitely be able to sit those 3

hours. Even if I get antsy at home. I'll aim for 2 hours this time. And I will commit to it. NO MATTER

WHAT. if i can get past the 2 hour point. that's great. But if I reach 2 hours then props to me. Because I

have improved quantitively. Using small goals to reach big goals!

Here are some things I came up with last time:

- eat and drink water so you feel somewhat full

- go to the bathroom before you actually sit down to study for a long period of time.

- brush your teeth, you don't want to be sneezing during the exam

- turn off any distractions

- keep your room well lit

- try to emulate exam scenarios

- wear clothes you will wear at the exam

So it's 1:21 AM, and I will be studying from 1:25 AM to 3:25 AM for sure!

Yes, GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS you think you might have now because once you COMMIT to that study

time, you want to make sure it's easy to commit and not hard.

That being said, I'm going to wash my hair (because I have this feeling it needs to be washed lol) and

then I'm going to study hard. I think I can do it. I believe in myself. And I'm smart (Positive affirmations!)

*2 hours later*

So, it was a good study session! Albeit, it didn't...
