More thinking: I am not willing to "work" more than 60 hours a week.
So.... here are the parameters:
- I will aim for 90% on every exam. - I will not study more than 30 hours a week. If that means I score lower than 90% on my exams, fine. (For the record, Elon considers 90% to be an A-, which would give me a 3.7 GPA.... not a 4.0.)
- I will study in sessions that are scheduled and limited in duration.
Next up, I examine my schedule and see:
1) How much I am studying now (my hunch is that it's a lot less than 30 hours)
2) Where I could fit 30 hours in, if I wanted to
3) What my other time constraints are (regular workouts are NOT optional).
I'm such a triathlon geek, I tell ya. I am arranging my life on a triathlon training model. How about that. ;-)
