How to Use This Planner

  1. Start by assessing your current time split across life areas.
  2. Plan activities in ALL four areas—not just academics.
  3. Set firm boundaries: study stop time, sleep time, screen-free time.
  4. Schedule self-care as non-negotiable appointments.
  5. Track daily habits to spot patterns over the week.
  6. Check in on balance signs—adjust if you see warning signals.
  7. Reflect weekly: what brought joy? What felt off?
  8. Remember: rest and fun are productive—they fuel everything else.
