Days almost over, but I'm feeling refreshed so I will be starting next week's case already... Finally a week ahead of schedule. How'd I accomplish that? I did the minimal work required! By minimal I mean whatever would get me a competent on the last case.
I have an amazing piece of advice...
I actually hope whoever reads my blog in the future reads it from NEWEST POST to OLDEST POST. Instead of the vice versa. Why? Because there are things I know now that I wish I knew earlier... Specifically this one piece of advice:
ch-check it:
If you want to be the best, think about what you're doing right now, and ask yourself is that better than the next candidate?
For me that was eye opening. Helped me get on top of my work and made it call me daddy. Too much information? j/k j/k... Ooo interesting, interesting, interesting! I reached out to a fellow CPA candidate on the discussion board CPA provides to us yesterday. And he sent me a case that he did. And I noticed some excellent habits of his that I will be incorporating..
Instead of underlining his titles, he literally just turns on caplocks and voila! instant title! I actually enjoyed it, from the perspective of efficiency <3
He used a lot of bullet points. He did not say pros once, he kept saying pro: blah, pro: blah, con: blah, con: blah. So I gave him some suggestions with that in mind. If you're gonna keep typing a word, just write it once! No point in being redundant....
That's it for tips for today... I'm off to go finish a day 1 case. Here's what I plan on doing:
read the case...
Read the outline of how we're marked...
type out the minimal ASAP. get that case done! If I can do this in one night, then I'm in a good position. If not. I'm in trouble. Let's do this!
