[QUOTE="THE GOAT, post: 180526, member: 35347"] The past couple weeks have been fairly hectic but I have spent the majority of my time weeding down my strategy for the next 6 months in relation to number of applications and the companies I want to focus on. Going to aim for 15-18 applications and try and straddle applications based on a timeline I have built/ still building. Also created an excel file to track my applications although I may migrate to the TCLA notion that I saw on Linkedin from Jaysen. Now the attention turns to the actual applying - first one up is Sidley Austin winter vac scheme which opens up on August 1st! Keen to get that out within a week of opening, and it will be an interesting eye opener to how tough these applications are. Aims for the coming week: - I shall complete Draft V1 for the Sidley Austin application. - I shall start my A&O Shearman application. - I shall do some Watson Glaser test prep. - I shall reach out to some trainees on Linkedin. - I shall update my excel application tracker/notion for any new openings/deadlines. Think that is all for the moment, hoping to spend 2 hours a day focusing on application cycle every day this month. Before a holiday and then start of the law conversion itself. Will post my tracker and visual updates as soon as I feel they are necessary. Also, non-law related but anyone who struggles with ADHD or just chronic procrastination: check out the bullet journal by Ryder Carroll. Just search for it on google/YouTube. I found it to be very helpful. All the best. [/QUOTE]
