What do you do when you are not giving time for IELTS preparation?

Most challenging and difficult period of life is when multiple things are to be done and not able to manage time? I don't know even how far you agree with this statement but I personally believe that time management is everything during preparation. Some people believe that they can prepare well with the help of training or coaching if not then self preparation, and others think that  unless or until they set themselves free from multitasking assignments and extra work-loads, are unable to concentrate on preparation. Don't get worried, if you have taken admission in IELTS coaching or you have already registered to appear for IELTS, and undergoing stress or disturbance on time management that  you don't have time for self preparation.
