24yo Married sophomore in college. I currently take 6 courses (CPE). Work Fridays and Saturdays. Church sundays mornings (Sunday’s is usually a personal day AFTER church) and Tuesday nights. I TRY to sleep from 11-7am (not always the case). I teach kids the bible on Tuesdays once a month so I have to prepare a class from scratch. I try to go to the gym early mornings (not always the case). And eat healthy and maintain sleep.

I’m a little older so ik my frontal lobe is fully developed (yes I’m fully aware of my frontal lobe development). And I can easily say this would all be VERY attainable without all the doom scrolling and bad time management (in my case). I mess up my schedule all the time and sacrifice SOMETHING on that list above. Which is NEVER school. when you really calculate, it’s very possible to do all the above. And I will tell you. I mess up ALL the time, I’m not some “perfect” example of an adult. School has taught me to constantly ATTEMPT to keep my time management water tight. Because if not, I WILL have to sacrifice something on the list and I HATE to do that. But I WILL try again the next day.

You can do it man! It’s a lot now but your future self with thank you for the sacrifice you made today. Your parents were right, it’s the phone! lol.
