14 February 2010Hi All,
I find this forum very informative and helpful, esp for propl like me who have started out after a long break from exams and studies. However, I hardly find any discussion on what your study plan is like as in how u manage time. It could be someone who is on study leave, or someone who is working part-time full time or mother of children etc. Please share your best practicces on how u manage time, what your schedule is like and let us learn frm the best of each other.

Let me start with mine. I am mother of a toddler and stay home for now. here is my schedule
5.30 - 7-30 - study any new topic
7.30 to 10 - I have a lot of chores to finish just before my baby sitter comes in
10-1 - My time to study
2-5 - my time to study
5-7 my time with my child and evening wlks
7-30 to 9-30 - Study time
I get about 10 hours if everything goes fine and I am appearing for group 2 in may 2010. I am re-starting my ca final after almost 6 years and studying by self study

Thanks for starting a useful topic. Even I am looking to dig into people's study schedule as I always wonder how many clam to study 10 hrs a day! I have never been able to manage more than 6-7 hours. i am gonna write my IPCC Nov '10 and I haven't started preparation
. And in your schedule you study for 2-3 hrs at a stretch?!! wow! I can never keep my focus for so long at a stretch as I am so distracted by my comp.
Like I told you, I haven't begun my studies, but if I do, my study periods could be something like this
6:30-7:30
8:00-9:00
10:00-11:00
11:30-1:00
4:00-5:00
7:00-8:00
9:30-10:00
Of course, on an un-interrupted day :)
Others, please share.

I have tried all sorts of scheduler apps, but the best app I have found is Replicon's roster software. Anything that pops in my mind, I just note down and prepare a schedule based on requirements.
It is easy to convince myself to reschedule when something else comes up. Other than this method, I am also learning to focus on certain activities only at specific times during the day.
