All,
I hope this message finds you well. I've recently become involved with the forum and want to thank all of you for your contributions. The material on the site will become invaluable as I continue to dig through study material and work towards my GMAT goal. With that being said, I am aware that work life balance has been briefly discussed in another thread, but wanted to hear some ideas on how to best balance. I typically work an 8-6 (or 7) day and then like to go for some exercise. Have others had similar schedules and been able to get in appropriate study time in the mornings? Typically, what other approaches have been taken? I'm not opposed to cutting down on exercise days to study at nights. Additionally, I will dedicate a significant portion of my weekends to studying. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Millis

Millis,
Do you have a smartphone? You can study while exercising - at least during cardio. I watch old Thursdays With Ron videos on MGMAT's Vimeo website at my gym - some of them require paper and pen but if you can find a topic that you can go along with without that and just try to pick up tricks and skills this can be valuable.
I know it's tough to do the exercising and the GMAT prep at the same time but there are a few options. I'd probably put together a YouTube playlist or check out Vimeo for some valuable videos. You could even use that as your "MBA" prep time - watch some of the old webinars posted here from the consultants that put together some great stuff. I find it really difficult to follow just audio GMAT stuff but you can find some video stuff that will help. I wouldn't abandon it all together, though, as if you give up everything but the GMAT stuff you're going to burn out!
Good luck.
