What's everyone's study schedule like? I was relying entirely on weekends, about 8-10 hours each when I took CFA. But curious on how you all make things work your own way.
My hours are a little more predictable on weekdays, so I try to get 1-2 hours on some days during work, so that I can have a little more fun on weekends.
I'm still job hunting at this stage, so theoretically have a little more time. But job search does seem to take most of weekdays. The constant interruption from calling and receiving calls doesn't help either. So bulk of the work ends up on weekends too.
@Reena yay job hunting is time consuming and interviews are usually at short notice so they mess with my studying schedule T_T. It also makes it tricky to plan out how much studying I can get in a week so I started establishing base line amounts that I absolutely have to have done by the end of the week.
Hey! I'm currently not working. I'm only preparing for L1 in June. How much time do you think i should put in daily since i am not doing anything else?

I'd go full time, as much as I can, with one day rest a week.
@sidmenon, it should be ok. Im doing that too but constantly interrupted by job search/interview work. So im doing 6 hours a day of study, 2-3 hours job search on weekdays. Weekend I study half a day on Saturday and take a break for rest of the weekend.
I dont know how you guys do it with a full time job!
@sidmenon@maroon5 you do get used to it. I remember my first day on the job - even 9-5 I was exhausted, and I thought to myself - I have to do this, 5 days a week????? 20 days holiday a year????? FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?????
You just get used to it. The brain and body is an amazing thing.
