second wind
Today I went to the second part of BarBri's Massachusetts Mini Review. Hopefully I'll be able to watch the tape of the first part tomorrow at the office. No great loss if I can't, but the disciplined approach will help me more than a bit.
I've made a study schedule that carries me from tomorrow through the final weekend. I omitted times of day, but I did break each day's tasks down into small segments with little checkboxes next to each item. Julian is looking into how to cut off my access to certain domains (on my request) so that I don't get tempted into any black-hole distractions. I am also trying to shift my "awake and alert " times to earlier in the day. Julian will have a look at my checklist when he gets home in the evening, and I will also post a daily progress report on this blog (making me accountable to all of you). If the day's tasks are completed in a timely fashion and it is before 9 PM, I will be allowed access to message boards in the evening. Yes, I realize that I am treating myself like a four-year-old. At this point, I'm going with whatever works.
The fact that this misery all coincides with the Nine Days is more poetic than I ever could have imagined. God most definitely has a Plan.
