I need your thoughts on managing your mental energy during the case interview preparation cycle.
I am going to assume that the average person in this forum is reasonably intelligent and driven.
My question is how do you manage your mental energy during your 1-2 months that you spent focusing on the upcoming interview cycle?
No long answer please, short applicable tips only.
Thank you!
Hi Lid,
I would recommend developing evening and morning routines to maximize your preparation for a consulting interview. Below you can find some of the elements I personally find more useful in these routines:

3 Tips For Case Interview Prep:
-Diversify case types ( keep youself interested and brain thinking in different ways )
-Take breaks between cases, between intense case practice periods (take a few days off after a crazy study weekend)
-Make sure to do something totally different during breaks ( workout, play video games, etc ) to get awya from case practice.
Career-wise: From reading through forums:
-It seems like it is important to try and workout at least 15 minutes in a morning or evening during an engagement week at least 3x a week
-Make sure to dedicate weekends to hobbies/family/activities
-I don't have a third point lol
Being self-aware and setting realistic expectations is important. Also try to peak at the right time.
