Ugh, I'm so over the bar already. I know I need to study and work hard, but finding it difficult to motivate myself. Anyone have any tips?

This is my motivation:

1. If I don't pass, all my friends will know, because in MO they publish the names of everyone who passed, so if your name is not on the list - everyone knows you bombed. Not great for future referrals. Also in my case, if I don't pass, I don't have a job. Possible humiliation + no money = high motivation.

2. If I don't pass, not only do I have to do this all over again, I have to lay out even more money to take MO again, and push back IL which I will only take in July if I pass MO in Feb.

3. Why NOT spend the appropriate time studying? What else do you have to do? You have to do something with your time, studying for BarBri is better than a lot of other things to do right now.

4. In MO, there are 32 days left to the bar. I am taking advantage of every moment, because it will be here before I know it. And there is too much to learn at the last minute and still pass.

When I need to eat, I eat. When I need to sleep, I sleep. Exercising and faith activities are also invigorating.

Think of it as training for a marathon. It's the hard that makes it worth doing. Get er done.

Good luck!

eney

a friend of mine who didnt pass the bar her first time and passed for the second time said: "...never think that you will have another chance (2nd, 3rd) to take a bar exam. you have to pass it now and study NOW is the only right option you have got"

right now, do more of the practice questions and essays.
