So this tip is to put reminders everywhere. You've got this huge goal that is extremely difficult to do, especially on a daily basis

And so you want to put reminders of, not just reminders, I'm not saying put reminders of

you need to study all over the place. Really what you're doing is putting reminders of your why

Why you're doing this. Putting reminders everywhere, it makes it easier to hit your study goals every day

and it helps you stay on track so that you can push through and hit each day's study goals

I can't say it enough, that is what it comes down to. The battle of the CPA exams will be won and lost on a daily basis

So here are some ideas. First of all, you can put a little statement on your lock screen, on your phone

Your lock screen is something that you look at probably a hundred times a day or more

And so putting a two to three sentence version of your goal statement on why you want to

pass or a picture of your goal reward for when you pass, going back to video four, you

could write a text, you could write it in the notes app or whatever, and then you just take a screenshot and then make that your lock screen

I'm crazy enough that I did that when I was studying. I had a little, just a few sentences reminding me of why I was working so hard to get done

with the exams, and I had that on my lock screen. Another idea is obviously sticky notes

Sticky notes can go anywhere. You know, again, write a little statement or reminder statement of why you're doing

this, basing it off of, I believe, tip number two, writing your CPA goal statement or mission statement

Then you can put these sticky notes on places that you see multiple times a day, like your

bathroom mirror, the side of your monitor and your computer, on your bed stand, or even

in your car. The third thing would be text reminders. There are a lot of apps out there where you can set up to send you periodic text during

the day or even apps that send you push notifications. There are a lot of different goal apps that you can download to set up push notifications

that will send you messages throughout your day to keep yourself on track
