Hi,
I study currently 1 hour per day from mon.to fri. and saturday and sunday as much as I can.
This might be a good study plan but after 2 months that I am following this rate, I noticed that I really miss doing other stuff like going out with friends, go to gym or go to shopping. AS a consequence of that I feel less motivated and I cannot be concentrated as usual when I study.....
I presume I should reduce the amount of study hours during the week end.
What do you think if I would study just 4 hours from sat. to sun and 1 hour per day from mon. to fri ?
My GMAT exam is scheduled for august 2014...
I would be happy also if you might tell me what you think about this story in general (I mean the high amount of hours ect).
Thanks a lot in advance

It sounds like you have been prepping for about 18 hours a week, which is a ton. Sustaining that over ~6 months is ~430 hours of prep, which is completely unnecessary. No one needs to prep that much if he or she preps smart.
You are right: because you are losing motivation and prep quality you should lower your amount of prep. Your proposed plan of about 13 hours a week sounds good, but I recommend taking at least one off day each week. That will really help boost your motivation and help you have more productive prep sessions.
When you are preparing as much as you are, it is really important to make sure you are prepping intelligently. That way, you are not just putting a ton of prep hours in, you are improving a great deal from each hour. My book, GMAT Clarity, will help you do exactly that.
