You have so much time, dude. I know the syllabus and the books may seem daunting but seriously, if you have done your bachelor's degree in finance, there is hardly anything new in CFA L1.

Even if you are studying an hour a day as of now, it is fine. Just make a steady routine. I will not really advise you to skip around much on your first read, besides ethics.

If you manage to get to level 2, you will be crying because you didn't spend time on Quant.

Basically, level 1 quant feeds into all 3 levels.
