Its been two months since I quit my last job. Since I am a massive workaholic, I was very afraid that I might not be able to cope with the free time suddenly available to me! I did make a conscious decision not to take up a new job or even any freelance work till I finished my GMAT, but right when you decide to stop looking, life decides to slap you straight in the face with a new career opportunity. And I jumped at it, because I am always of the opinion that my work defines me. The new job is something that I have never done and its a massive step in the business direction for me. The only problem though- TRAVEL. Living in Mumbai, its a given that traffic shall be a major part of your life and most of the times we have made our peace with that fact. So my major concern, how do i study for the GMAT while working full time?
Never fear. Its not an easy task. But its not impossible. If you are in the same situation like me, think of the bigger picture. I found a couple of good articles online on tips on how to study while working like a crazy person!
Dont lose hope, coz you are going to lose a lot of sleep now. But, always ALWAYS keep the bigger picture in mind. Think of your GMAT prep time as a date, wouldn't you be pissed if the other person didnt show up?
- Make a realistic study timetable
- Stick to it
- Give yourself time to panic and then breathe it out
- Keep the bigger picture in mind
- Use the internet to your advantage
Keep it real.
