This Episode’s Roadmap
[two_thirds]
Let’s face it – it’s really hard balancing studying for exams with all the things we have going on in our lives.
We have so many roles that we play, so many tasks that we need to perform, and so many people depending on us that often times, it’s a major struggle to feel like there’s any semblance of a balance while studying.
The next few episodes are designed to help you maintain control of your life, continue to perform well with work, school, and your family, and of course pass your next exam. Let’s Do this!
