Currently my schedule is super unstructured. I had very little time last year so I just did whatever I could. Since January I’ve had more time and now I also have a clear goal to set up a more structured ‘daily’ schedule for, so here goes. I’m aiming for N1 but I should also really review N2 material (and N3… N4…) so I’ll probably also sign up for N2. For now, I’ll try to stick to this as much as possible:
March/April
Daily
I know I tend to just… not stick with my schedule if I make it too complicated and with too many different things. Therefore, I’ve tried to keep my daily tasks a bit simple so I don’t burn myself out.
