Woke up at 4 today with like 4 hours of sleep, and my first thought was hell nahhh. So after fajr, I knocked out again for 1-1.5 hours and woke up at 6:30, except I actually fell back asleep, and my momās loud-ass alarm had to drag me back to reality š¤”.
Slept on the way back home, was still dead tired when I got to my room, so I decided to nap for an hour⦠which somehow turned into 3 hours without my consent. Woke up literally 10 minutes before my class. But hey, at least Iām more awake now, I guess?
Loved today, thoughāunderstood everything in every class so easily, and thatās a rare win.
Iāll try to sleep after Iām done studying, but if I canāt, I might just keep going.
Ughhh.
Stuff to do:
Math HW
Chem: read text + review notes + hw
Review todayās lecture + read the text
Finally finish that damn solutions lecture + write notes + study it
Letās hope I actually get through this.
Byeee for nowww (ā Ā ā Ėā Ā ā ³ā Ėā )š

Deep cleaned my room
Completed eng notes + some math hw I had left
Rev chapter 1 of bio for tmrw (yet to do)
Woke up at almost 12 today. Stayed up till 3am watching Greyās Anatomy (I love this show so much itās actually insane).
Since school starts tomorrow, Iāve decided to pause all the reading and shows for now. One thing I really struggle with is balancing them with school and studying, so Iām cutting them offāat least temporarily. Might let myself watch a movie or two on weekends though.
Unit tests begin tomorrow, starting with bio. I havenāt revised yet, but I had gone through it before the break, so the plan is to watch a one-shot, read the textbook, and skim through my notes again tomorrow morning.
Also really need to catch up on coaching stuff, but I have no clue how Iām gonna manage that right now. Gotta sit down and plan everything before I go to bed tonight.
Take careee

Bio test went pretty okay. Pretty sure I made a very dumb mistake but hey, wouldnāt be me if I didnāt, right?
Was way too tired to read the chapter last night, so I did a quick read-through on the bus this morning.
Watched Lecture 1 & 2 of Haloalkanes and Arenes todayātrying to catch up on my backlog since I missed classes for like a week and a half (weāre not gonna talk about it).
Note to self: Try starting studying by 4:00 pm (cuz hopefully that'll give me more time to study.)
Also wanted to start working out again but was too tired (ironic, I know thatās exactly why I should be moving). Classic me.
No tests tomorrow though, so thatās a relief :)
Bah-byee

Day (15/30) DOP COLLAB CHALLENGE
Ypt hrs ā 1:00 hr
Had Bio practicals today and forgot to bring my lab coatāthankfully, I was able to borrow one from a friend in another class. The experiment was on onion cells; we had to identify the stage of mitosis, but I couldnāt find anything on my slide. This is my second practical in a row where thatās happened, and itās honestly starting to feel a bit discouraging. I was in a pretty bad mood after that.
Messed around till 4:30, then joined my live classābut about an hour in, I ended up falling asleep. I was so tired that I decided to nap properly. Woke up at 7, went out, and only got back home at 1AM.
Had a lot I wanted to get done today, but that clearly didnāt happen :( Also, weāve got a bunch of people coming over for lunch tomorrow... right when I have tons to do. Classic timing.
Gn loves ~~

Let me give you, the internet, and mostly myself, some executive function advice.
Sometimes, when you find yourself somehow unable to do a thing you need or want to do, one issue might be that your brain has subconsciously tacked on extra tasks, and those tasks are making the whole thing too overwhelming!
Tl;dr: don't do that!
For example, I like to track the books I read and I've been meaning to add a few books I've recently finished. But my brain has added that I should also write a review, and the exact dates I read them (which I can't even remember) and oh by the way I should finish moving my stuff over to storygraph and before I know it that 1 task has turned into 4! And my executive functioning says no.
In fact, while I was getting the idea to write this post, my brain went "wouldn't it be nice to also write a post about y and tag them all properly and go back through my posts and find all mental health posts and tag those too" and wouldn't you know it. 4 tasks.
Discard those extra tasks. Don't even write them down. They don't matter. Strip it down to the 1 task you started with and only do that.
Sure, you won't have achieved some theoretical better end result but that end result was never gonna happen anyway. It was paralysing you from getting the initial task done. And maybe once that initial task is done, you can get to one (1! not 4!) additional task. Later. Not now.
Half-assing is better than no-assing.
Hellooo Peoplee !
I'm just a girl in her last year of school time flies so fast wth preparing for NEET (an entrance exam to get into med school in India) trynna survive. I started this blog to document my journey, hold myself accountable, and stay consistentācuz God knows I need to.
A little about my journey so far:
- Joined an online coaching institute in 11th and, well⦠fucked around and as a result have the whole 11th syllabus as backlogš¤”
Sooo basically, my plan/goals are to:
Ā» Stay consistent with my 12th-grade coaching (attending live lectures, tests, workbooks, the whole deal)
Ā» Slowly cover my 11th-grade backlog (maybe a lecture each dayā not sure yet..)
Ā» Crack NEET on my first attempt and secure a govt. medical seat.
So if youāre also on the grind, letās keep each other motivated! Feel free to drop a message or an ask.
Hereās to staying disciplined and getting that govt seat š„āØ
