    How to Focus Better (Day 2): The Power of Prioritisation

    Welcome to Day 2 of the How to Focus Better series—and if you’re here today, you’re already among the few who don’t quit after Day 1. That itself makes you different. In this session, we move from identifying distractions to defeating them. Once you know who your enemy is and how it attacks your focus, the next step is clear: prioritisation. Bonus:Heavy Discounts are live on our platforms - EDU91, Mock Test Papers, SKILL91, and Learnn Club. Use code HNY26 to get up to 26% off on all the courses. Key takeaway from Day 2:You may have many things to do, but at the end of the day, only one thing truly matters. Focus comes naturally when priorities are clear. What you’ll learn today: * Why lack of focus is actually a lack of priorities? * How writing helps you discover what truly matters in life? * A simple but powerful exercise to define: * Long-term goals (10 years) * Medium-term goals (5 years) * Short-term and ultra-short-term goals * Why “writing” is underrated but essential for focus, clarity, and critical thinking? * The danger of illusion of knowledge—why watching and listening alone doesn’t change behaviour. Bonus:Heavy Discounts are live on our platforms - EDU91, Mock Test Papers, SKILL91, and Learnn Club. Use code HNY26 to get up to 26% off on all the courses. 📝 Today’s Homework:Write.Write your goals.Write your problems.Write your priorities. Until you write, thoughts remain fleeting—and fleeting thoughts never change behaviour. This episode is not motivational fluff; it’s practical wisdom that works if you apply it consistently. Behaviour change takes time, effort, and repetition—and this series will walk that path with you. 🎁 Bonus:Don’t forget to check out courses on EDU91, Mock Test Papers, SKILL91, and Learnn Club. Use code HNY26 to get up to 26% off on all the courses. Stay tuned for Day 3, where we’ll talk about the fuel of focus. Like, share, and continue this journey.God bless you. Thanks for reading!

    Struggling to Focus? Start Here - Day 1

    Welcome to a brand-new mentoring series which will help you improve focus, productivity, and clarity of mind—not just for your upcoming exams, but for life beyond them. In Day 1, we begin with a powerful idea: “Awareness precedes change.”Before you can improve your focus, you must first understand what distracts you, when it distracts you, and why it distracts you. Just like a doctor diagnoses before treating, this series will help you identify the real causes behind lack of concentration. Bonus:Heavy Discounts are live on our platforms - EDU91, Mock Test Papers, SKILL91, and Learnn Club. Use code HNY26 to get up to 26% off on all the courses. What you’ll learn today: * Why awareness is the first step to better focus? * How to identify your biggest distractions (social media, habits, routines, thoughts)? * A simple but effective journaling exercise to improve concentration and efficiency. * How knowing your “enemy” makes focus easier and sustainable? Today’s task:Sit down and write what distracts you. Not just in your head—on paper. Journaling is a key tool to sharpen focus and boost productivity. Bonus:Heavy Discounts are live on our platforms - EDU91, Mock Test Papers, SKILL91, and Learnn Club. Use code HNY26 to get up to 26% off on all the courses, including personal finance.

    A Simple Plan to Score Better in CA Exams

    In this short audio, we talk about a simple but powerful framework every CA student should follow before exams.It’s not complicated — just five clear steps:Concepts → Questions → Writing Practice → Revision → Mock Tests. Most students do the first two and skip the rest… and then wonder why their marks don’t reflect their effort. This episode breaks the entire framework down in a practical way, so you know exactly what to do, in what order, and why it works. I’ve also announced a special Audit batch (45–50 marks coverage in 3–4 days), open for all students. Details are in the description. Dates- 5th, 6th & 7th Dec 2025Chapters Covered- Ch: 1,2,3,11You’ll get an evaluated mock test along. Listen to the framework, note it down, and more importantly — follow it.It can genuinely make the difference between “almost there” and “passed”. All the best. God bless you.

    Concepts Don’t Fetch Marks. Writing Does. Remember this CA Students.

    In this episode, we talk about something most CA students ignore until it’s too late — your craft. You may understand concepts, watch lectures, revise theory… but the exam doesn’t test your memory. It tests your writing.Your ability to convert what you know into a structured, high-quality answer. If you’re not practicing writing, you’re leaving marks on the table. We also discuss how writing is an art that improves slowly — through mistakes, feedback, and consistency — and why even 5–7 days of focused writing practice can change your entire audit paper. If you want to try the 5-day audit challenge or check out writing practice + mock tests, visit www.mocktestpapers.com. Give this a listen, and then sit down and write for at least 2–3 hours. That’s when the real improvement begins. All the best. God bless you.

    This Attempt Can Be Different CA Students— If You Are.

    In this episode, I’m talking to all CA students who feel stuck because of their past attempt or their current study routine. If you’ve been carrying guilt, regret, or that constant “I could’ve done more” feeling, this is for you. We speak about a very simple idea:Stop fighting the old. Start building the new. I’ve broken down: * What “the old” actually means (your past attempt, procrastination, bad routine) * What “the new” should look like in the next 40–50 days * How many hours you realistically need from now till the exam * Why writing practice + mock tests can genuinely change your confidence * How to learn from previous mistakes without getting stuck in them This isn’t a motivational talk — it’s a practical reminder to reset your mindset and start fresh from today. If you’re preparing for CA Inter or CA Final, I hope this helps you get back on track with a lighter mind and a stronger plan. Join FREE Live writing practice sessions with me - These are the free courses in which I am taking free live writing practice sessions. Moreover, you’ll get plenty of other free resources in the course. You can access CA Inter & CA Final writing practice and mock tests at www.mocktestpapers.com.
