You\u2019ll also want to plot a time frame to finish each task on your list. If you work a full-time job, section out a set time each week to dedicate only to your course. If you carve out a three-hour time block, you can then break down the task-of-the-day into subtasks to create a timeline. Don\u2019t feel like you have to rush into anything!
