To discuss the nature of the civil services, in Pakistan, time and again, is to state the cliché. Given the status and power, a large number of working professionals are driven towards the CSS examinations. However, given their tight schedules and engagement in their jobs, it becomes an immensely difficult task to prepare for the civil services examination. Therefore, here is a brave effort made by someone on social media to analyze and discuss the problems faced by the working professionals, while preparing for the CSS exam. Preparing a rational study plan is of utmost importance for the working professionals Given the time constraints and other considerations, a working aspirant can only succeed if he/she chooses a planned strategy.

The Working Environment: An Array of Distractions

A full time employment hardly leaves any time for you to become a disciple of the CSS. Therefore, you have to be in a distance relationship, and try to maintain the feelings. Like the real-life long distance love stories, dealing with the civil services, while working, is difficult. Also, an injudicious approach towards the CSS would only lead to a wastage of money and mind. Therefore, put your foot down into the arena of civil services, only if you are committed to it. Once you have firmly decided to go for it, before starting to go deep into the study-schedules, you need to plan- how would you take time and mind out of your present work, for the CSS exam. Once you are done with this initial planning, you are ready for ‘THE COMPETITION.

While working, a number of things invade your mind, and create distractions. Therefore, you would have to draw a line between your work life and your personal life. Do what you are supposed to do at a moment. Thus, Work when you are working, eat when you are eating, sleep when you are sleeping, and most importantly, Study when you are studying. Mixing your different tasks only creates distractions, and hampers your productivity. Thus, Do not mix your different aspects of life.

Studying 10-12 hours a day might not be a rational decision, as it would only raise your stress level. Instead, you must try to devote at least 3 hours for your CSS studies. Remember, that those three hours should be pure studying and no other consideration. In this regard, the most important thing to remember is that, your study plan should be consistent and without lags

If you are able to cultivate a habit of devoting, even 3 hours for your CSS exam preparations, on daily basis, you would be able to cover the whole syllabus in a reasonable time.

How to Study While Working Full Time!!

One of the prime considerations of a working professional is to decide from where to study. Since the working people have strict time constraints, it is very important that they does not spend their precious time in experimenting with different source materials from the exam point of view.

However, given the time limitations and other constraints, it might be advisable to take some correspondence course from a reliable coaching.

In this regard, an online coaching can be very handy for you. Since you are not able to go for real coaching, you should find it convenient to study online, as it gives the option of preparing ‘on the go.
