Am I experiencing burnout already? Forum

[olikatz]

So today I decided to do a mini LR drill just to get a feel for it after reading the LR Bible. It was just 6 Qs and I found myself not being able to understand and focus on what I was reading. I had to re-read stimuli, but still felt scrambled. I'm just getting into the groove of spending hours at a time reading so I figured I'm just getting used to it and I'll gain my wits again as time passes. Did this happen to anyone when they started studying? Is there anything I can do to help this?

I think you'll get used to staying focused the more drilling you do. You just have to focus and there's no easy way around that.

Somethings I have found that felt me focus is asking up earlier, so as to give my brain a little bit of time to "wake up." Also, I try to do some exercise and take a refreshing shower before I sit down to drill/study for hours at a time.

Working on your endurance is part of the LSAT as well. It can also be a tough thing to do if you're not used to just sitting down, focusing, and reading for long periods of time. I think in your case just keep pushing forward and eliminate any distractions. It may even benefit you to study somewhere like a library.

you look pretty burnt out, man. ... judging from your pic.
