A big thing is to know yourself, and not to fight yourself. For instance, I make the mistake of getting every book ever published from the library or bookstore when I start to study for a test. Then, of course, I'm frantic to get through them. The best plan for me is to go narrow and deep. Find a couple of the books most often recommended for studying, and stay with them. Then, look at InstaCert's flashcards.
As other have said previously, you can usually winkle out at least a few minutes every day to study. Be strict with your time. Don't think that just one Happy Hour won't throw off your schedule, because it will. It will lead to going out to lunch with friends, rather than sitting in your cube/office/quite space and studying. Skip the neighborhood BBQ. Focus on what is most important, and do it. As Marcus Aurelius said, know that a limit has been set to your time.
Good luck.
