Work vs studying for the GMAT

[biker317]

I find it difficult to take time out to study for the GMAT especially on weekdays, though I have made progress, it seems to trickle in slowly. I have already cancelled my test dates once, because every time I sit to study for the GMAT theres some s#$% hitting the fan at work and I feel the need to devote more time to mitigate work problems. I wonder how many are on the same boat as me..So i have started to sneak out on my lunch breaks to do a couple of DS or SCs...I have to say work is definitely being affected..I am just trying to keep my head above water so that my employer gives me a recommendation letter in a couple of months...Just venting

Ha! Sounds like the lunch studying has really been paying off!

I've also had some trouble carving out what feels like a sufficient block of study time on weekdays... and I hate to let it pile up until the weekend, because that becomes a paralyzing amount of work.

What's been helpful for me is to take all my study material to the library - which is luckily very close to my work - and put in an hour and a half or so there before I head home for the day. It's not ideal, since I get home later and still have whatever normal life stuff to do there, but it does help me get a respectable amount of studying done.
