Day 1/150 studying for the GMAT.

Spent a quiet, cold day studying in the library. Yesterday, I found a bunch of GMAT books at the thrift store and I picked up the Princeton Review Prep book from the library today. I'm studying everything, especially the match from scratch- as in acting as if I know nothing at all. My math skills have never been great and I'd rather start over than miss something or spend longer confusing myself.

What I got done today:

🪶 The first 200 pages of the Princeton Prep book 🪶 3 pages of GMAT notes 🪶 Found a GMAT math review course on Coursera 🪶 Unit 6.2 in my Coursera Data Analysis course- as that's still going 🪶 Typed out all of my random notes from work 🪶 Did some data cleaning for work 🪶 Got a bunch of skincare to start a routine

Playlist for the day:

Planning to write the test end of the week. I’m still not sure whether I’m ready?!

To your questions:

1. It removes a potential roadblock for my path to the executive level, it adds another network of highly accomplished people with valuable skills and connections to leverage, it bolsters credibility for fundraising if I want to raise funding for my own startup in the future (investors look at credentials and networks when investing in new companies), and it rounds out my educational toolkit because I don't have a traditional business background.

2:57pm // I got next to nothing done these last couple days but I’m supposed to watch Soul tonight with some friends over zoom so I’m hoping to get all of this done before then so I can feel less stressed about everything.

2nd January - Have you made any New Years’ Resolutions?

I decided that I would start the winter study challenge by @myhoneststudyblr. With working full time and studying, it’s hard and I figured this might be a nice way to motivate myself.

As for new year’s resolutions, I don’t know if I have any. I have a couple goals for this year:

Take the GMAT and score above a 740.

Run 75 times and 232 miles

I fell sick today and spent most of my day sleeping so I really couldn't paint anything. I feel really sad about it but hoping to get well soon and get back to painting.

I was a little productive today though (if that counts).

I did a little GMAT prep ( sentence corrections) and even IELTS prep (only the listening part). I didn't really spend an awfully lot of time on it coz I had no energy at all.

Send lots of love and healing energy please.

Also, I really hope to be more productive from tomorrow onwards.
