Do You Double Time?
 
Many of you are stuggling to find time to do everything that are "must dos" not just "need to dos."  So much of our life is spent scrambling and trying to study for the CPA exam is  one more thing to do on top of the "must dos".  The fact that you are reading this newsletter is a great start!  Since there are only 24 hours in a day, something has to give AND you can do what I call "double time."
 
Double time is not for the faint hearted, but it will maximize your time as you'll be practicing mcqs at times and places some may think unorthodox. So how does it work? It's a combination of filling in gaps of time (waiting, standing in line, on hold on the phone) and doing two things at once (studying while listening to music, watching tv, etc).  
 
Maximize your morning routine.  As you get ready in the morning, learn and know one mcq. Guys, this could be while you are shaving.  Ladies, this could be while putting on make up. Learn a question and add a point.  Here are other places you can double time:  During a seminar or networking event, discreetly study. Waiting for anything is a good time to study--in a grocery line, the doctor's office, waiting for a car inspection, in the order or pick up line for take out food, in a car as a passenger, waiting for a child's soccer practice to finish, while a game is being played, while you're in line buying holiday presents.  I went back to school in my 40's to finish my bachelors degree.  During those years, my daughter had to be at her soccer games one hour before the game.  I'd study in the car during that time instead of talking to the other parents.  Every moment of the day, create a way to double time.   Oursmart phone apps are great for these opportune study times.
 
Put a sticky on your bathroom mirror, car mirror, hallway mirror, refrigerator door that provides inspiration like "You Can Do It!" or whatever you need to tell yourself to keep motivated.  Believe You Can Do It!

One of the comments from our survey a few months ago highlighting the problems with using your smartphone to type.  It gave us a laugh.
