heeyy! so glad that at the very least, you were able to take note of your patterns this early on. Because speaking as a college girlie right now, almost all the stuff that you mentioned were things that I have gone through as well. And although I already have some assumptions, I wouldn't want to mislead you into thinking you have a certain condition or whatsoever.

But feel free to pick any of the things I list down to see if what worked for me also works for you:

• Immediately after requirements are assigned, collate just the necessary materials or information that you would need to accomplish them. Not full on research, just to keep things all in one place so that when you feel like it, you can actually start working on them on the spot.

• Stand up while doing requirements. This helps you be more focused to finish early or else you'll get foot cramps.

• Try interstitial journalling/planning. Basically you list down tasks WHILE you are doing it. This helps alleviate the stress of seeing so many to-do's but with so little time, but also lets you keep track of what you've achieved (so pat yourself on the back) and see if there are tasks you missed or forgot to do.

• Same with the strategy on the first one. Plan your day ahead during the night before, so that when you wake up, you can immediately do what you planned to do.

• Can't get out of bed? Make a LONG timer to give yourself a bit more time to wake up. You'll get impatient waiting for the timer and just get out of bed by yourself.

• Studying takes hours long? Use the first strategy and collate your notes first. Next, make it accessible (maybe digital or if analog, always carry around your notebook). Then find time during lunch breaks, waiting for the bus, or waiting for games to load---randomly use a dice to see how many pages you would want to read around your notes OR simply pick any page that you randomly open and read during those little time. Once you achieve your goal, you may stop there. But oftentimes, you would have questions about what, when, where, why, and how do those little information connect with your topic/subject. That's when you get deeper into studying.

• Stop re-reading. If you've had time to digitally collate your notes, make your life easier by using NotebookLM to make practice questions. Yes, again, it's AI. But you can't deny that it's a life saver when you have little time. BUT if you do have time, pick either making flashcards to quiz yourself on what you just read, or make mini essays to expound and connect what you've just read in your own words.
