James ,
I was in the same situation last year , and I found the same as you that it
is a massive pressure.
Especially when you have that annoying thing called "a life" getting in the
way.
Maybe taking a break and coming back to the lab after the baby/House is a
better plan of action.
Two of the top three most stressful things that a person does in their life
are moving house and having the first baby.
So please do try not to overload yourself.
You have to remember that the CCIE exam is made hard on purpose and that it
requires maybe not 100% of your time , but defiantly 100% of your attention.
If you cant give it right now , that's OK.
You can of course keep studying but just reduce the amount of time you spend
studying right now
When you've moved house and had the baby , things will settle down.
Then you can kick it into high gear.
Thanks
Stephen Skinner

Subject: OT: Feeling overwhelmed
*** WARNING : This message originates from the Internet ***
This is sort of OT, but I was wondering what everyone does when they feel
overwhelmed with studying for the lab. I just passed the written on Feb
3rd, and have been studying 30+ hours a week ever since. I'm learning a ton
along the way, but sometimes I feel like I have no prayer of learning enough
to pass. I am scheduled to take the lab on July 6th, but I may not take it
then.
How do you deal with the stress of studying, work, family, etc? My wife is
pregnant with our first child, we are in the process of buying a house, and
I'm trying to pass this lab. I guess I just wonder sometimes if it is worth
it or if I should wait a year before attempting it. Thanks for letting a
newbie vent.
