Stage 4 · Lesson 1 of 7
Hours per week, honestly
Your plan starts from one number: your . That is the hours you can study each week after work, family, travel and sleep. Track a normal week to find it rather than guessing.
Then turn it into a schedule with fixed slots. For example, three weekday evenings of 90 minutes and one four-hour weekend block. Fixed slots survive busy weeks better than good intentions.
Every estimate that follows is calculated from this number, from how long a course takes to when you start applying. The Sefism roadmap for your target role turns its stages into weeks using the same figure.
