I'm a working professional and currently, I'm trying to study at least 4-6 hours on the weekdays and about 6 hours on the weekends, as this is what my schedule (and mental capacity) permits. I also don't have a set test date in mind so I'm trying to take advantage of time and study at a good pace. During the weekday, I'll do about 20 practice problems each on Quant and Verbal and then review it. Then I'll commit about an hour to TTP and another 30-60 minutes on Manhattan's All the Verbal. During the weekend, similar structure but committing more time to TTP and Manhattan. Verbal's my weak point right now so I'm considering on switching my current routine to be Verbal focused (30 minutes TTP and 1-1.5 hours of All the Verbal).
Can someone let me know if this is a good strategy and if there are any recommendations? Again, I don't have a set test date but if I were to choose, I'd probably try to take one in 6 months (have been studying for 4 so far).

It seems you are really in love with GMAT. Studying for 4-6 hours and for 6 months? wow! Don't you want to do something else?
4-6 hours on a weekday for a working professional does not sound realistic. It seems too much. I don't think one can maintain concentration and quality for that long.
I would cut it down to 2 but very productive hours in the morning before work and perhaps a few hours of reading books each night to help with your verbal. Something like GMAT Fiction to help with RC and SC.
It is personal but I personally focused on one topic (e.g. Quant) first and then another (Verbal) later. It requires one to continue reviewing their quant skills over time as they do verbal but it also allows one to vanquish one foe and fight one war at a time (in addition to your job and pandemic that is). Something to consider.
What is the purpose of doing 40 questions per day? You should aim to take the test in 3-4 months of starting your prep. 6 months is frankly too long - you will forget what you learned during months 1 and 2 by the time you reach month 6. I really don't know why you are burning up so much time but you are spending about 300% more time than you optimally should.

Sorry, should've clarified. Not doing 4-6 hours per day on the weekdays, just the total (4-6 hours per day would destroy me). Realistically, I aim for 2 hours a day on the weekday, 2-3 times a week. The TTP itself takes a while to complete (1 practice quiz takes me upwards 30 minutes, assuming 15 questions) and there are about 4-6 quizzes per module in addition to the lessons. Do you have any good sample study guides?
