How do you train yourself for a "marathon" (see below for what I mean exactly?)?

Question

I don't mean like an actual running marathon. I mean a marathon such as a long school semester, a long exam such as the LSAT's, long term goals, etc. Hopefully you know what i mean. What would you do to help prepare for situations where you'll be in it for the long haul?

Answer 1

Prepare a list of your goals and a checklist to monitor your progress, and get lots of sleep.
