RE: Study Plan.

I booked my date in May for October 2nd so I dropped everything - working out, social life, gigging with my band, etc and had a goal of studying 40 hours a week on top of my 50+ hours a week job. I don't know if I'd recommend this because it did put strain on my marriage, family, friends, and my health. Even my boss said I was getting a little edgy a month or two out so it did impact my work as well. I think there's a way if you plan properly to strike a healthy balance. I'm going to shoot for my SP now and plan to spread things out a little. My goal will be about 10 hours a week for 9 to 10 months. One thing is for sure - consistency is key.

Subject: Study Plan.

Good afternoon,

I was wondering if anyone had an itinerary of their study plans. For example,
an outlook calendar that says work 8-5, 5-6 Eat, 6-12 Gorge on TCP/IP Vol II,
etc. With work, working out, dating, commuting, life, just wondering what
successful IE's have done and what other candidates are doing. Should I plan
on not dating or working out? I know some people have wives, children so I
can only imagine it's even more complicated. I want my digits, any
direction?

Any help/advice is appreciated!
JB Poplawski
