Most of our students study around a job. The ones who finish tend to do the same handful of things.
Short, fixed, protected
Two evenings a week at a set time beats an ambitious plan that assumes free weekends.
Work in public
Push what you build somewhere visible each week. It keeps the pace honest and gives you a portfolio by accident.
The people who finish are rarely the ones with the most free time. They are the ones who booked it.
Ask early
The single strongest predictor of finishing is asking a question in week two rather than week six.
