How to manage CFA L1 while working full time in IB

I recently graduated have been working at this middle market Investment Bank as Junior Analyst. Presently staffed on 2 live PE transactions, work week is super hectic clocking in close to 70 - 80 hours a week. Now I am super stressed as I have already registered for CFA L1, Feb’25. I have not yet started anything, i feel i am running out of time how should i manage L1 with this hectic job. I plan to go for MBA in next 2-2.5 years and want to get done with all 3 CFA levels before MBA. Please give me some tips
