Adequate study time is required for the accomplishment of all the set goals. As such, it is important to make appropriate arrangements to ensure that some extra time is created to help boost study time. One of the strategies I would use is to take some time from the sleeping hours. For example, waking up an hour earlier or sleeping an hour later than the current time. This would add more time for studying. I will also create some more time from the weekend hours and convert them to study hours.
