All of the above (other than 8+ hours). Idk my preparation has been all over the place. 2nd attempt. I thought SFG would give me the required discipline, but a combination of changing my night owl routine, falling sick and waves of apathy that just come over me for no reason, productivity has been low. Or maybe I'm just cutting myself too much slack and making excuses to avoid the harsh truth. The idea that work expands to fill time is absolutely true. On some days when the SFG syllabus is not that much, I take HOURS to finish one chapter because I think I have enough time, read in a leisurely mode and pick up random, unimportant things to do in between and then end up running out of time and not finishing anything properly. It's just like that rabbit and tortoise story. Maybe I need to stop making premature assessments about the doability of targets for a certain day and just get on with it.The rabbit and tortoise story is not a fake one.
Here is the proof.
Just because you "can" win the race does not mean you "will" win the race. It will depend on whether you are running or not.
The moral of the story isn't to be a tortoise and keep running but to be the hare and not get complacent.

The point here is the steady wins the race.
The fast and the steady always beats the slow and steady. However, all of us cannot be fast. Sometimes that is not a choice that is given to us. And the gift of being fast ( read intelligent ) is often squandered away by the fast.
So the quote really is slow a̶n̶d̶ but steady wins the race.
Yes, undeniably.
I'm not sure of SFG's full form, so I'll take it as "Steady & Focused Group" from here on. :)
