That’s the spirit. Might as well!

Take one! At least for the next 48 hours. Not many problems can be fixed over Christmas anyway! Might as well give yourself a little break right now.

I know the feeling! Hope it’s an easy one! Take good care of yourself!

Thank you, yours as well!

That’s exactly the stuff to take a break from. You can’t fix it during Christmas, might as well give yourself a break of worrying about it. Declare yourself free for the next 48 hours (ish)

Paired with vodka? Chef’s kiss!

I can't masturbate that long. I got shit to do.

For homework and bills, I suggest a bullet journal, digital or analog (physical journal works best for me. Record due dates not only on the day they are due, but a week, then 3-4 days before and finally the day before. If you don't need as many reminders as I do, then don't put in as many.

For academic work I get the syllabus at the start if each class and work out small, easily digestible increments and set due dates for those during the course.

Ex. One chapter a week is assigned reading so I divide the chapter over 4 days. I build in wiggle room in case life happens which is why I divide over 4 days instead of seven.

Ex. For papers that are due a month out I divide into three weeks: week 1 for research, 2-3 for writing (sometimes I end up needing more research once I start writing, week 3 for outside review and editing (or week 4 if I had to do additional research).

If I find that one day or week is really heavy with tasks I adjust as needed. This may seem pretty involved, but I was able to keep up with schoolwork while suffering a health crisis. I didn't need any extensions on assignments due to planning at the beginning if the classes and a bit of luck.

For everything else like sleep and fitness, schedule it like anything else. But these are things you may want to try to be more strict in terms if when you do them. Sleep schedule should be more regimented in terms of times than an activity like fitness.

Lol my previous boss made us read this book. They started it shortly after I left. But I may still grab a copy and read it.

I do lists for each day. The hard part is being consistent in making a good list of be shit you need to do. But once you do that and have a detailed list of things you know you need to do you'll work through it. Not a mental list either.

Write it down. Send yourself scheduled reminders. Annoy the shit out of yourself.

Sometimes you wanna go

Read Atomic Habits by James Clear. Audible usually has deals, you can pick it up for a free credit with a killer deal rn

Trust me when I say this is the book you want to read for this case. Everything I know about building habits came from this book

Also don't try to do everything all at once. Imo I'd start with the sleep habit since without good sleep, anything else you do won't stick or will be muddied by the fact you're not getting enough sleep. It's more important than a good diet

Wouldn't you like to get away?

I shall have to as I was diagnosed with Covid today. 😔

Cool, thanks. I had to drive all the way to Flagstaff to find some, but I finally found a couple snow shovels. I just made it back to Phoenix. So, what do I do with the shovels now?

When it’s comes to structure, I mean that I do not have a routine for anything (I’m a college student) No sleep routine, fitness routine, finishing homework on time or paying bills on time. I miss deadlines which is ironically the most consistent thing I’ve been. In brief, I’m a mess.

Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

Bless your heart.

I try but there's talk of downsizing and the head of my division keeps sending group DMs saying stuff like "I don't know what next year will bring, but I want to thank each and every one of you for your service this year"

Without more information on what you need structure with it's hard to give applicable and actionable advice.
