What to focus on for SA 2019 - networking vs. technicals?

I'm having a hard time deciding which to focus on: networking or technicals, as of April 1. I'm aware that superdays will be conducted mid-April and throughout the summer, but I would love to hear what you guys are doing as far as networking and technicals. What date do you expect to finish your technicals studying? Is there a particular study-schedule strategy you are using?

Yes. I call it the fucking panic strategy because I have 5 first rounds in a week and I've never touched a guide or taken a finance class yet.
