1/60 Days of Productivity.

There's 60 days till exams are over, so I thought I could do a 60 Days of Productivity challenge.

Revision has not been as smooth as I had hoped it would be. Everyday is a struggle and my mental health has never been worse, but I'm stuck on this miserable plane of existence so I may as well just focus on today and forget the existential horror of the years ahead, right?

Anyway.

Franz Wright, from God's Silence; "East Boston, 1996"

[Text ID: Walking home, for a moment / you almost believe you could start again. / And an intense love rushes to your heart, / and hope. It's unendurable, unendurable.]

After breaking my head over the audit textbooks and whether or not to make notes, I simply bought a prepared concept book. It arrived today and it's good so far. I feel like it will make audit prep easier.

Trying to study, blog, exercise, eat healthy, read and journal everyday is exhausting. Add a quarter-life crisis in and my mental health is in the absolute gutter. I dropped everything for a while now and instead of being relaxed, I'm just more anxious. I really need to push ahead quickly.

I slept in today for the first time in ages. I've been feeling horrible and I think just completely disengaging from the hamster wheel was a good reset.

Audit notes are going slow but it's coming along. At this point I'm looking to have my notes reflect the matter in the textbook but also flow in an intuitive and simple way. This way it's easier to comprehend at exam time.

My dreams have always been endless.

But after falling so many times, I found myself not daring to dream, trying to content myself with the mediocre.

But that's not me.

So I'm forcing myself to get up and keep trying.

With sufficient effort, results are guaranteed.

I recently received the new course books, and have started preparing for my last two exams in May '24.

I've neglected the blog for a while, but I'm back for good now.

Started well, had a breakdown, terrible day.

But I did get a lot of my basics in NBFCs down solid. Tomorrow I just have to do some more practice questions. And at least two chapters in Auditing just to get back on track.

It's been months, but I'm back.

I passed Group 1 of the CA Intermediate! It feels great to be a step closer to my goal.

I've already been working on group 2, but now I need to get serious and focus on preparing for it.

Today I worked on Banking Companies. It's a huge chapter, but it's very fun.

Today was a rough day. I've fallen a bit behind on my test schedule and the stress is killing me. Literally woke up and had a meltdown. On top of that my family keeps scheduling other things to do and it's so frustrating to have to follow everyone else's agenda at the cost of my time and sanity.

I solved a lot of tax questions today. Tomorrow I will revise a bit of gst law and do both a taxation test as well as a costing test.

Besides that, I started reading A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. It was recommended to me by a friend along with all sorts of trigger warnings, but I'm looking forward to taking my time with it.

Miss Cat looked so comical sitting in a empty yogurt container, that I had to try and capture that. She's more than doubled in size in the last four months.

Studied accounting and did a test. Concepts don't seem to be a problem anymore as much as remembering what goes where, not panicking and writing working notes for everything.

I practiced more questions from taxation today. I'm a little behind on my unit test schedule, but I think I'll be able to bring it back on track by this weekend.

It's interesting to attempt questions from tax, and I have pretty decent conceptual clarity, but making sense of the madness and not missing out on any calculation is such tedious work.

Practiced accounting all day and did a practice test in the evening. I took a little over the time limit but I think my concepts are finally pretty solid.

The last few weeks have been really busy and I've missed out on so much time. But now I feel like I'm finally getting back into the swing of things.

I did more law today.

Most of the questions in the exam are practical in nature. So I'm trying to build familiarity with the text rather than trying to memorize it.

Today has been hectic.

My cat has been generally unwell and listless. I spent so long trying to figure out what was wrong.

I went over all the recent amendments in law and corrected my notes. I got my schedule in order and did my planning for the upcoming revision test.

I also got some excercise done after ages.
