(𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘺 @anitalenia , @angeliicide @dividers4u <3）

Right now I’m really trying to push myself as much as possible. I still feel like I have around 40% of the second semester left to cover, and there are only 18 days left until my national exam. Let’s just say I’m done with the first semester because the exam covers the whole year. I don’t just feel a little late I feel extremely late like, seriously I feel completely cooked buuut instead of panicking, I’m going to do something about it ofc hh !

So this is my plan for the days I have left before the exam.

WHAT I NEED TO DO

First I need to stop taking naps because they are genuinely ruining me mentally and physically. I’ve never felt this sleepy in my life until this period. Every time I take a nap, it turns from 20 min to 4h , and then I wake up with a headache and the feeling that I wasted the entire day. So no more naps no matter what.

Second, I don’t really go to school anymore, but I still have two final school exams before the national exam: Philosophy and Arabic. I’ll prepare for them, but only give them around 10% of my focus. They matter, but right now my priority is the national exam. Still, I’ll keep working on philosophy essays because practicing them is helping me understand the texts and questions better than just reviewing lessons. I still have a couple of philosophy chapters left though for the exam

I also need to fix my sleep schedule. My goal is to wake up at 6 a.m., and maybe later slowly move toward 4 a.m. I know it sounds crazy but I really want to use my mornings properly. In the morning, I’ll focus mostly on history review because I’m still behind in history and geography. I also need to work on Arabic poetry analysis because I’ve been avoiding it for too long.

Another thing I need to do is review in the evening whatever I studied in the morning so I can actually remember the information instead of forgetting it after one day.

To reduce anxiety and that constant feeling of exhaustion, I need to stop escaping into sleep. Instead of naps, I should pray exercise a little, read something, or watch something before going back to studying.

I also seriously need to work on geography diagrams because I’m really behind on them. Some of those chart diagrams make my brain fried up but I still have to learn them for the exam.

As for my routine, I don’t want to create some unrealistic “perfect productivity” schedule I just need something consistent and blocked yk .

I’ll wake up at 6 a.m. and focus deeply on subjects like history, philosophy, and Arabic reading because, surprisingly, those are the subjects I actually enjoy yet hate because im laye in them . For each subject I choose, I want at least two hours of real deep work without those useless little breaks that only distract me.

Then, later in the day after lunch , I’ll focus on exercises, past papers, and quizzes for those subjects. I also need to review my mistakes carefully instead of just solving things and moving on.

At night before sleeping, I’ll do English vocabulary, history terms, and small reviews of lessons from the morning that I still don’t fully understand. Morning time will be mainly for learning and understanding lessons, while afternoons and evenings will be focused on past papers, exercises, and revision.

I know I’m late. I know I’m stressed. But I still have time to fight for the grade I want, and for these next 17 days I just need to stay disciplined and keep going good luck for anyone with exams coming soon !
