"Hey Shama, I just followed Becker to be honest, didn't do anything special.  Watched all the lectures, did all the homeworks, did a final exam, and then reviewed the sections I was having trouble with. Good luck with your studying!"

I seem to be falling into a pattern, not sure if I like it...I'll have a day where I work 9-12 hours, basically the entire day, on my Becker review--and then the next day I'll barely be able to motivate myself to do 2 hours.  Which means that the following day I feel behind and work like crazy and perpetuate the cycle -.-

Anyone have some good tips on making and maintaining a steady schedule?  I'd rather work 5-6 hours a day than 10 one day, 2 the next!
