I think that in this contemporary era, everyone is busy in some sort of work. It might be in their business, studies, or even household chores. Well, I would like to discuss a period of time when I was really busy. It was actually before my board exams. I was really practicing hard to achieve a good score. I spent a lot of time clearing my doubts, understanding the concepts, and going thoroughly through various questions. I wanted to understand the new types of questions that might appear on the exam. I solved various sample papers and hundreds of questions from every chapter to solidify my understanding. This workload meant I didn't have enough time to spend with my family. It was also difficult to pursue my own hobbies. I would spend a whole day and half the night studying, devising my topics, and I didn't even have time to go for a walk. I woke up at 4:00 AM every day and slept around midnight. Even my sleep wasn't complete, and it caused me a lot of mental stress. But I managed to cope with that stress. Eventually, I scored well, but I'm still not satisfied with the results. It was the mathematics section that really brought my percentage down. It was a really hard time for me to manage everything along with my studies. The worst part was that it was winter, and I found it difficult to focus. It was quite chilly, and I couldn't take my hands out of the blanket because it would be freezing. It was really difficult to even do some writing. I just went through the concepts and revised. That's why I got lower marks in math, because I hadn't practiced enough on paper. That time was a tough nut to crack for me. But eventually, I scored enough, but I'm still not satisfied with that.
