It's all about focus, drive, and motiviation. It's very difficult to work 7-8hrs/day, then come home and study for 5 more. Then on the weekends, study an additional 8-12hrs/day. (I did that schedule for 1 month prior to my lab exam, and a similar schedule 2-3 months out from my exam) It was very taxing, and hard to spend time with my significant other (who I acutally bought a dog to keep her occupied). How some people can spend the amount of time that they do with a family, and other "disctractions" is amazing.
Try and set expectations in your household. Let people know that this is your "quiet" time. Start off spending 2 hours a night, and see if that does the trick for you. If it's too much, cut back to an hour, if you can handle more, do 3 hours. Remeber, an hour a night, every night, really adds up. After all is said and done, it's focus, motivation, concentration, drive, and buying someone a dog! :) thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (R&S / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] used Cisco gear: www.optsys.net CCIE Labs, racks, and classes: http://www.ccbootcamp.com/quicklinks.html ""rtc9"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I have a three hour commute, a full+ part time job, and I'm wondering, what > is the average hours people put in to thier job after hours?
