The mobile keeps ringing and the TV keeps talking…. Relatives arrive frequently….and what not. All these take a toll on your preparation. Once your preparation gets off the track due to some disturbance, you need to spend some more time to get back to the same preparation flow. Remember, CA requires dedicated and focussed preparation.
It is quite important to have a separate study room for preparation. A room where no one disturbs you once you get in. Have everything you need in the room so that you don’t have to come out now and again. Keep your phone out of the room. (It might be uneasy for first few days but you will build a habit soon). Your family must be strictly informed not to disturb you unless when there is an emergency.
If possible, one can look for a single room around your house. I did it on my brother’s suggestion and it worked quite well for me. I got a small room in our locality, quite near to our apartments. A separate room ensured that I could prepare without any disturbance from family & friends (Only a few knew this place).
No TV, No Mobile, No Visitors… In short a peaceful preparation for CA PE I and CA PE II. The possibility of getting into useless gossips did not even exist there. When I was in the room, the only goal was to pass with flying colours. Preparation was focussed and intense. If I have to list down factors for my success, the separate room would be one of the most important factors.
Just look back and see how often you were disturbed while preparing and how much of time that you spent on unnecessary things could have been spent on preparation. I managed to get a separate room at a throw away price. If it is not possible for you to get a separate room at least have a separate study room in your house which is away from worldly disturbances.
