Hello, I'm also going to be starting ACCA. I just wanted to know how you've managed to stay motivated on your journey and when you have had setbacks how did you deal with them? I'm going to start it because I didn't really like law and I'm very scared that I'll face the same issues (sleep issues, anxiety, depression, stress). Thank you so much and I hope you achieve all your goals!!

Hi, in all honesty I've struggled with keeping myself motivated hence why I stated this blog for some public accountability. For me the best way to keep me interested was to approach my study like a puzzle that I need to solve. Being inquisitive and treating the text like a story. I also try to keep myself in a study environment, so libraries, online study groups and reading business/accountancy news. I also envisage myself as a qualified accountant with either a top level status job or owning my own business and networking. And finally having i 'f u acca! I can do this' attitude rather than a stressed out 'it's too hard' attitude. 😆 Keeping yourself positive is the main thing. Thank you for your well wishes and good luck. Keep us updating on your progress. You can do it. Don't let stress ruin your dreams! 😀

Still here guys. I've spent part of the weekend studying and part of the weekend at a wedding. :D I've not stuck to my plan but i'm adament on not giving up. I'm showing myself how much i lack self disicipline and focus. So today i decided to use my lunch break for some note taking. I'm in a local (noisy) library and have just finished some of my notes up. I'm a happy bunny. I'm trying my best to keep my focus on studying and gym/water intake, outside of work. I've been on tiktok for 2 years now and it's consumes alot of my time and focus. So i'm trying to limit myself with it. Becuase of how addictive it can be i am going to use it on the weekends when i've got everything done. I normally use it whilst i'm doing something else and it's affected my focus. A healthier alternative to some having noise whilst i work is probably an audio book or some calming music. I've listened to both today whilst i was at work. :) Keep focused everyone! We've got this! No more excuses! :-)

A slow start during the week to my studying but a really enjoyable session today. : )

I don’t study productively and as effectively as i could do. I am going to work on this, as i want to take resit the exam in September. I’ve just been reading my notes and writing them in again in a condensed form in my notebook but this is where i went wrong last time. I am planning on trying a combination of study methods. Active recall, teaching and repeating my notes verbally aswell as writing them again.

I also need to do another study plan to fit in my revision and exam practise. Again, lack of revision and practise was another mistake i made last time. I was so focused on writing my notes out and then revising that i wasted a lot of precious time.

I am also going to read from the textbook and repeat the text out loud. I will be using the ACCA study hub also. It looks quite interesting. I’ve enjoyed using the flash cards they have. : )

Overall I’m a happy bunny.

Time for some well deserved dinner.

Have a productive day, all! Let me know how you’re getting on with your studies in the comments. It would be a great motivation for me to know we’re all in this together.

A quick hello!

I’m back to studying and thought i would log on and see how everyone is doing. I’m not very disciplined as you can see, my aim was to be studying earlier but it’s better late than never. Work has been quite hectic at the moment and so has my personal life. However, i am working on a no excuses/very disciplined approach to my studying and my health. I want to be more consistent. The weather has been amazingly warm and sunny in the UK. I hope you’ve all enjoyed some time in the sun.

Here’s to a productive study session! (“ ,)

Hi All, Happy 2025! I hope the year started off well for all of you. It's that time of the year again, where you get your exam results and miss out from passing your exams by 2 marks! *cries internally* But you pick yourself up and get to work! :-)

I was annoyed but not as down as i would have been 6 months ago. So it's back to the revision notes. To stop me from getting bored or losing focus i am going to also start studying another module too. My foundational knowledge needs refreshing so i'll start learning the basics along with revising for ATX. I'm not sure if i will do a resit in March 2025. ACCA keeps sending me texts but it's pointless repeating the same mistakes and paying a large exam fee for the priviledge of rushing a resit. I followed the examiner articles and tried to book a resit as quickly as possible to prevent me from forgetting what i had learnt but it's not productive when you've got weak areas you need to revise. And it's very expensive to keep failing.

It baffles me that ACCA continues to keep pushing it's exam fees up. A lot of people are learning it's an expensive qualification that doesn't hold the weight it use to. However, i've come too far to give up or go to another examining body. So here's to more productive study sessions.

Let me know how you're gettin go with your exams. :-)

A well deserved break!

Hi fellow study buddies! I’ve been absent from posting as I’m back at work now and it’s been busy. I’ve stuck to my promise of relaxing and actually spending some time enjoying my many hobbies. I’m currently doing some craft projects as planned. I’ve also been reading my library books. I’ve still got a few to read. I’m so blessed with the amount of hobbies i can indulge in. I haven’t started revising the weak areas as of yet. I’ve been so busy trying to relax and catch up in other areas. I’m also back at the gym regularly which takes up energy. Today is my last day at work so here’s my plan for this evening:

Get home and relax with a warm drink (possibly)

Eat a snack (possibly)

Get sauna stuff ready and head to the gym

30 mins sauna and shower at gym

Dinner at home and relax with either a book or a movie

I hope you’re all building in rest and activities into your study routine. :) Let me know what your plans are in the comments.

From your fellow study buddy.

Day 116 - 120 completed.

Happy Friday all. :) My exam was on Wednesday and i feel 50/50 about it. There was definitely some parts of the exam questions i got right but there was parts where i was kicking myself because i didn't revise enough. This is something that i need to make sure i do on my next exam. I will probably spend the Christmas break going over these weak areas just incase i have to resit this exam. I am looking forward to doing my next exam. I'm successfully achieved romanticising studying. :D Buying new gadgets and accessories to aid my studying seems to be helping. XD Yesterday, i spent the whole day finishing off one of my library books. I've walked to my local library and returned 2 of them. I've got 4 to go. :D I spent some time in a bookshop talking to the owner. He was lovely. I ended up purchasing a bible (hopefully it may be worth something in the future) and another book on Christianity. All apart of my religious studies. I hope everyone is having a productive Friday. Keep smiling even if you don't feel like it. Push through and grab your goals! They're yours and noone can stop you achiveing them. From your fellow studybuddy.

Day 101 - 105 - completed. Another 2 days completed! Yesterday and today has mostly been spent relaxing and aimed at my wellbeing. I’ve been mentally exhausted for a while. I spent a couple of hours yesterday revising and the same today. Tomorrow, being Monday, i will spend more time revising and build in some past exam questions. My exam is only a few days away. I honestly feel happier and less stressed. My anxiety has also decreased. Investing in wellbeing time and forcing myself to slow down seems to be the key to these positive changes. Having said that tomorrow i will be investing hard work again. I can’t wait for the Christmas break. I’ll be doing nothing but relaxing, knitting, reading, crocheting and cleaning. :D

Day 96 - 100 - completed. A productive day all round yesterday and a partly productive day today. Yesterday i did a little bit of revision and a few chores that i had been putting off. My evening was then spent relaxing. Today i had a nice long lie-in and made 2 dishes to eat, from scratch. :) I’ve slipped into a slightly late routine which i will have to correct. I am planning on doing some of my to do list before bed and then try to get some sleep! :) I’m proud of myself for actually getting my set tasks done. I’m also quite calm considering my exam is less than a week away. Building in wellbeing and hobbies into my study plan definitely helps with my stress and focus levels.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday. Let me know how your studying is going in the comments. :)

Day 85-95 completed.

So as planned, i've come home and been quite productive. :) I've got a few books from the library that i need to read and return soon, so i started on them. I've read some of my pockets notes and did some personal studying (bible reading). I've still got lots more that i want to do but my mind and body needs some sleep. It's 12.50am as i type this. :O

Have a great tomorrow, everyone!
