Race against Time : The Problems

Greetings Readers
It's the dilemma and confusion of all aspirants of competitive exams like JEE,NEET or AIIMS alike that how does one manage time.Questions like,"How do I best utilize the time that I have available with me?" or "How much should I study per day to get the best results?" and even "I am studying for x hours a day but it's not helping me,what should I do?"
See,this problem called "Time nahi hai" or "I don't get time" occurs with everyone,literally everyone.Be it the toppers,average scorers,struggling people and who not.Our teacher once used to say,"If I write a post on Facebook on the thing that time is inadequate for exam preparation and this is very unfair,that post will receive lakhs of likes from almost anywhere and everywhere!"
Jokes apart, still one can't sit and keep complaining about these problems and still ace the exams.Something has to be done.Changes have to be brought to yourself,your surroundings,your way of life for this preparation period.You have to change yourself according to the conditions.
Coming to the point,let's take an example of the life of a common school going student who wants to prepare for NEET/AIIMS too with coaching classes in evening.
The normal schedule - 
Wake up - Maybe between 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning.
Get ready and go to school : Between 6:30 and 7:00
School day :Varying between 7:30 to like 1:30 in the afternoon
Reach home : Around 2:00 in afternoon
Eat food,rest :About 1 hour
Go to coaching : 4:00 to 8:00(approx)
Come back home : 8:30 in evening
Study or do home work : Maybe from 8:30 to 10:30 or 11:00
Sleep : till next morning
So we see that this is a quite hectic schedule for a normal person and can be exasperating and tiring for a student.Also getting only 2-3 hours of self study,after a the busy day feels too less.
Topics may be taught at coaching,questions may be given for solving but one may not get the time to read the topics again,grasp them and resolve his/her doubts.Also,question solving,which is the most important part of this preparation,takes a toll as since if one doesn't understand the topic, how will he solve them?
Next comes the situation arises when school and coaching are going in opposite directions,teaching way different topics to the same student at the same time.It's like teaching "Cell:The unit of Life" in the Morning and "Diversity in the living world" in the evening.How will the student understand it?Many students aren't able to cope up this pressure(neither was I) and get depressed and demotivated.
Also,social media like Whatsapp and Facebook serve as "time-wasters",where students bored with this monotonous life seek some happiness,some joy or fun but result in eventually wasting more time and getting more demotivated.
Eventually,at one time,there comes a big lag between how much the student has learned actually and what topic the coaching guys have reached(following strict and fixed schedules).This creates a big backlog that can become a long term problem for the student.
This post is not meant for demotivating you,I just wanted you to have a look upon your problems, and the need to act upon them.Whatever problems I have quoted above have been personally faced by myself too and my next post will give an answer to all of the problems stated above,in the context of what I did to solve them and what result the solutions gave.
Till then,I request you to ponder upon these and get yourself motivated and encouraged to solve them.Nothing is impossible for you as an NEET/AIIMS aspirant if you have determination and patience.
Do post your queries in the comments section.I will try my best to answer them.
Till the next post
Bye!
