The Psychology of Sticking to an LSAT Study Schedule

Listen Later

Anyone can decide to study for the LSAT. But after the shiny enthusiasm of a new goal fades and you’re left with just a pile of practice tests and homework, how do you stay on track? It takes about 180 hours of prep to be ready for the test, and most people don’t find it easy to put that time in as planned. In this episode, Branden and Jelena teach you how to beat procrastination, burnout, distraction, and other common LSAT study problems.

Listen and learn…

  1. What time of day is best for studying
  2. How to use social accountability to stick to your plan
  3. What to do when the hardest part of studying is just getting started
  4. Common signs of study burnout
  5. Why rewarding yourself after studying isn’t making you more excited to study (hint: you’re missing part of the puzzle)
  6. Time-tracking and study planning methods that can help you visualize your progress
  7. How virtual coworking and long-distance study groups can help you study while social distancing
  8. What to say to your friends, family, and housemates who want to help you study but don’t know anything about the LSAT
