Start with fixed constraints. Note your notice windows, likely study availability, major work deadlines, and any section whose overlap advantage will decay if you wait too long. Then choose the order that gives each section an honest study runway. When timing is tight, sequence becomes more important than idealized topic preference. A discipline is not chosen in a vacuum. It is chosen inside a calendar.
