4. Time Management for Law Students & Bar Exam Takers

Blessed & Barred® | Faith, Law School, and the Bar Exam

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that many of us struggle with: time management. But this isn’t your average talk about planners, to-do lists, and Google calendars. I challenge the traditional view of time management, reframing it as “taming your time” — a holistic approach that includes life, home, energy, and health management.

Whether you're a pre-law student, law school attendee, bar exam taker, or practicing attorney, I give insights that apply to managing not just your time but the many aspects of your life using the Blessed & Barred® Bar Exam Success System’s 3-step approach, highlighting step two: “Tame Your Time.”

Time is more than just a construct—it's about managing what fills those units of time, from schoolwork to relationships to personal passions. I go into common barriers like distractions, procrastination, and even personal boundaries, explaining why time management is also about setting priorities and creating routines that work for you.

Join me as I explore how law students and bar exam takers can better manage their time, energy, and even spiritual lives in the process. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling to find balance, this episode is for you!

Key Topics:

- Why traditional time management methods (planners, to-do lists) aren’t enough
