Episode 44 Show Notes:
The Holiday Season is upon us and for bar takers, this can be an extremely difficult time to balance all of the commitments that we face. Some bar takers obsess about study and ignore the season and its joys. Others are so captured by the escapism of the holiday time that they procrastinate from their studies. Both approaches can be disastrous to a successful exam outcome.
This Episode looks at this challenge and suggests a middle ground that you can use to navigate the Holiday Season and study for the bar exam.
