How to Handle Having TOO MUCH To Do
So let’s say you’re in the same boat I am (this is a running theme, have you noticed?) and you’ve just got, like, SO MUCH STUFF that HAS to get done YESTERDAY or you will DIE (or fail/get fired/mope). Everything needs to be done yesterday, you’re sick, and for whatever reason you are focusing on the least important stuff first. What to do!
Take a deep breath, because this is a boot camp in prioritization.
Make a 3 by 4 grid. Make it pretty big. The line above your top row goes like this: Due YESTERDAY - due TOMORROW - due LATER. Along the side, write: Takes 5 min - Takes 30 min - Takes hours - Takes DAYS.
Divide ALL your tasks into one of these squares, based on how much work you still have to do. A thank you note for a present you received two weeks ago? That takes 5 minutes and was due YESTERDAY. Put it in that square. A five page paper that’s due tomorrow? That takes an hour/hours, place it appropriately. Tomorrow’s speech you just need to rehearse? Half an hour, due TOMORROW. Do the same for ALL of your tasks
Your priority goes like this:
5 minutes due YESTERDAY
5 minutes due TOMORROW
Half-hour due YESTERDAY
Half-hour due TOMORROW
Hours due YESTERDAY
Hours due TOMORROW
5 minutes due LATER
Half-hour due LATER
Hours due LATER
DAYS due YESTERDAY
DAYS due TOMORROW
DAYS due LATER
At this point you just go down the list in each section. If something feels especially urgent, for whatever reason - a certain professor is hounding you, you’re especially worried about that speech, whatever - you can bump that up to the top of the entire list. However, going through the list like this is what I find most efficient.
Some people do like to save the 5 minute tasks for kind of a break between longer-running tasks. If that’s what you want to try, go for it! You’re the one studying here.
So that’s how to prioritize. Now, how to actually do shit? That’s where the 20/10 method comes in. It’s simple: do stuff like a stuff-doing FIEND for 20 minutes, then take a ten minute break and do whatever you want. Repeat ad infinitum. It’s how I’ve gotten through my to do list, concussed and everything.
You’ve got this. Get a drink and start - we can do our stuff together!
It’s still a work in progress but here’s a cool simple list I found to help clean your room that I’ve been using:
Hope this helps anyone!

things i’ll do once i can FINALLY drive:
just leave to the library for some quiet time
just go to stores or a mall and skim through them on my own time
probably run someone over
actually control the music
just vibe in graveyards looking for cool names to write down
go to a park on my own and just immediately walk off the path and get lost
put stickers all throughout town
maybe get a part time job?
be able to get things like piercings n shit that i otherwise would not be able to get in a timely manner
probably carry even more safety shit
fuck up learning the guitar OUTSIDE instead of doing that indoors
get a parking fine because how the fuck do people even parallel park like it doesn’t even look physically possible
get the food i’m craving without having to do a charisma check at my family
just go to a pharmacy and walk around cus i never get enough time to just look at the things
maybe go to a con or other cool shit goin on
explore abandoned shit on my own that i probably shouldn’t be exploring
etc etc you get the gist I cannot wait
Can you tell I’m upset yet?
HEY PLEASE READ !!
if you guys AT ALL enjoy using the internet whether it's for news, entertainment, or communication purposes there is a bill floating around right now that has a good possibility of being passed that will influence the way we ALL use the internet. this bill is called KOSA and it presents itself as "kids online safety act" but in reality it is and will try to sensor SO much important information out there about LGBTQ+, POC communities, feminism and women's rights, and so much more. the bill targets mainly people under 17 but this bill will affect adults too. your favorite social media and websites will become highly cleansed from anything the government deems as "dangerous" to children online. one of the ways they are trying to ensure kids aren't accessing content that is "dangerous" enforces EVERYONE to upload private information or a photo of your ID to access social media apps and websites. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PROTECTING FREE SPEACH ON THE INTERNET AND THE WAY WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE PLEASE HELP ENSURE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO SHOE THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE KOSA BILL.

omgg a tf2 fan that also draws dollar trilogy fanart?? also yesterday i had an epiphany as i was rewatching the dollar trilogy:
red spy as mortimer
red sniper as blondie
ones a professional cool level-headed guy that has a picture of his wife in his watch and the other ones a scruffy but loner with a cool ass hat. just like spy and sniper!
you don't know how much I've been thinking about this so here's a quick drawing
and Mortimer and Manco as spy and sniper bonus :

hi! long time no see, tumblr. i took a break for the first month or so of school because there was so much to do, including my final silver dofe expedition, but now it’s the break and i’m spending the time off relaxing and catching up on everything.
those who have done gold duke of edinburgh- is it worth it? i’m really questioning whether to do it, as this is a big year for me and on top of 5 highers i’m doing grade 7 violin so i’m not convinced i could take it on and do well in everything. please let me know if you did it and think it’s actually worth it in the long run lol :)
should be working on the Very Important Presentation
have instead written nearly 5000 words of fanfiction

okay soo i finished the organic lecture and got done with 5 hours of phy part 1 lec (super happy) sooo i think ill be able to finish it off by tmr
i’m gonna end today early cuz i’m really exhausted (don’t know why) also i feel like im out of my burn out phase so yayyy !!
okay so for my lecture - i finished until 2D - which is like 5 hours 😭😭 so i’ll start off with NLM and the rest from tmr
also been really into editing lately so i’ll do some of that before i sleep
goodnight loves 🍊

long time no see :)
i haven’t been able to do a lot, i’ve just been super exhausted and unmotivated and i feel like that shouldn’t be an excuse for me to not study, considering my exam is so close but i can feel the exhaustion and burn out in my bones.
well regardless, i’ve been tryna finish a 12 hour organic chemistry lecture and ill finish it today, marking the end of my organic revision.
i also have to start a kinematics / class 11 physics part 1 lecture and that’s also 12 hours 😭 but let’s see, i’m hoping to start it off today me finish it by tomorrow or maximum, day after.
eh anyway, let’s just hope this one month goes by quickly.
goodluck to all of you and have an amazing day and stay hydrated my loves 🌼

11 march 2025
alr so i woke up earlier than i normally do cuz i couldn’t sleep (it’s like a cocktail of insomnia, anxiety and stress) 😭 idk i don’t trust myself to remember all this content
anyways, today’s agenda is to just revise the entire syllabus. currently done with half. 🌸
also the paper got leaked like five times and they’re all the wrong leaks (wtaf is happening) but yeah 😭 i don’t trust these leaks so id rather just study the entire syllabus.
welp i just gotta revise all of this and go through mcq’s for all chapters cus that’s where i lose marks a lot, it’s gonna be another long night (when is it not) but i just gotta get this over with now.
anyways, have a nice day my loves <3

alsooo the moon looked pretty last night <3
10 march 2025
i’ve been pretty burnt out since my physics exam so i couldn’t study that well the previous two days but i managed to complete my todo list. i still don’t know how well i know the concepts i studied until now so im just going to revise it all again (yay?)
to do list :
solutions
electrochemistry
chemicals kinetics
revise the rest of the syllabus
alsooooo i made vanilla coffee and it’s so goooood, ive found my new comfort / hyperfixation drink hehehe im so happy eeeeeeeek 🌝
anyway,
have a lovely day
💌
6 march 2025
hihiiii <3
very basic day, i gotta revise all 14 chapters of physics cuz tmr’s my final 🥲 but yay, i started at 12 and finished revising 4 chapters (questions + derivations and notes) so pretty happy about how much i got done, it’s gonna be a long night again (when is it not) but i really hope my exam goes well tmr (cbse physics paper reactions scared me)
there’s also a rumour that i could have my math board re exam cuz the paper got leaked (😭😭😭) i might actually cry if that happens cuz math is genuinely my weakest subject, tho it’s fun, i really can’t bring myself to study that subject again.
anyways -
todo list 🎀
i still need to learn ray optics cus i skipped it all year
revise :
magnetism and matter
electromagnetic induction
alternating current
electromagnetic waves
wave optics
atoms, nuclei
dual nature (might skip)
semi conductors
i think i’ll be done with revising by around mid night and then i’ll go through the numericals and formulas again
also i did plan to finish reading ncert by the time my exams end but i really doubt ill do that 😭 boards is already a load of work, trying to fit in 11th bio is a real task so maybe i’ll just finish 11th biology by the end of march. i’ll already be reading 12th bio for boards so only 11th would be manageable after exams.
anyways,
have a nice day loves <3
💌
4 march 2025
i’ve got three days for my physics boards so the plan is to finish revising in two days and have my last day for the final revision. i do have a question bank for chapter wise revision so ill be doing that along with revising it all too. 14 chapters in two days and i plan to do 11th biology on the side
to do list :
electric charges and fields
electric potential and capacitance
current electricity
moving charges and magnetism
magnetism and matter
electromagnetic induction
alternating current
read biological classification
re-do breathing and exchange of gases
i plan to do at least two chapters of biology everyday until my exams end and hopefully finish most of what’s left for biology.
anyways have a nice day loves <33
currently logged 3 hours of studying (i started late), i think it’s gonna be a long night so im preparing for probably another all nighter (i really need to fix my schedule)
💌
2 march 2025
woah okay so my boards start tomorrow and i finished most of my revision yesterday, for today my only goal is to solve integration pyq and other model papers.
to do :
integration pyq
model papers for math
it’s a pretty chill day but i am kinda stressed cuz math isn’t my strongest subject 😭 i really wished boards started with pcb to give me some confidence in my upcoming exams but yeah wtv, it is what it is
anyways, i left probability for today and i just finished it. i feel pretty good today, not sick at all so that’s good. i pulled an all nighter last night and got a quick two hour nap at 8 am cuz my brain would not process more math without rest but i feel pretty okay and not tired even after my all nighter
anyways goodluck for today loves <3 stay hydrated
💌
i’m so happy this is my last math exam ever
28 february 2025
starting late but it’s okay cuz it’s integration day, i needed the mental prep 😭 hopefully i finish it off today and have the next two days for revision. day 3 without coffee, it’s getting more difficult, i might cave in 🥲 but anyway :
todo list for today :
integration
application of integrals
differential equations
this’ll take my whole day by itself so yay, if i get some time ill prolly do physics or chem questions - i really miss doing physics questions now 🥲 but yeah let’s see
goodluck loves <3 have a lovely day and stay hydrated 💗
6 pm update - done with 1/4th of integration :))) seems kinda slow but i did a lot of questions so im happy with it
10 pm update - i’ve got 1/2 the chapter left (why is this so godamn long oh god) but yeah 🥲 sounds like it’ll be a late night
clocked in 8 hours of integration until now, my brain is going to collapse into itself
12 am update - done with integration, i give up on the rest for today, goodnight loves 💌
integration is content heavy so i can manage revision and doing the rest of it tmr or day after too
clocked in 9 hours of integration 🥲
days left for boards : 2
💌
27 february 2025
to do list :
maxima minima
vectors
3D geometry
LPP
probability
a complete math day cus boards are close 🥲 gonna be tiring. im gonna try sticking to my no coffee plan but i doubt it’ll last, math is draining me 😭 anyways goodluck to yall too <33
have an amazing day <33
5 pm update - done with maxima minima and vectors (yay). i suddenly feel really unprepared for inverse trig so ill be revising that too today 🥲🥲
11pm update - done with vectors and 3d, took a nice three hour break cuz why not honestly but yeah i’ve only got probability and lpp left for today so im hoping to be done by 1am yay
12 am update - done with probability hehhehehehe only lpp left, that’ll be done soon (yayyyyy) xx
1 am - done with my todo listttt yayyy, did some skin care too, now off to bed 💌 goodnight loves
26 february 2025
good morning <3
alright i got some good sleep and hydrated myself a lot and i feel much better so let’s get back on track ahh, ive wasted too much time being sick, hopefully that doesn’t happen again until my exams end
anyways,
today’s todo list :
determinants
continuity and differenciability
differential equations
applications of derivatives
hindi - read 4 chapters
modern physics - revise + questions
i really need to get done with my boards portions 😭😭 hopefully i finish it all today
also tryna take a day off coffee since excessive caffeine is known to cause low blood sugar, which might’ve been causing my fainting bouts but let’s see
5 days until my boards, so i’m really scared but it’s okay, we got this :)) (i think)
anyways, i’ll keep updating the post to keep track of how much i’ve done hehe
have a nice day loves <33
4 pm update - i finished determinants and started differentiation, im definitely gonna finish this list today (motivation burst idk how) but i do like differentiation more than integration so that’ll help me get through this 🥲 but yayyyyy at least im down one chapter
8.30 pm update - almost done with differentiation, this is kinda fun yall
12 am update - why is this chapter so long omg, but i finally finished continuity and differenciability 😭😭 now moving onto others, they’re much shorter in comparison so i think that’s good
sometime later update - i realised i did more than just one chapter cus of the way our teacher teaches so yay, im done with math. now some hindi reading (my eyes are closing cus i’ve been off coffee)
25 february 2025
to do list for today :
math :
inverse trigonometry
matrices
determinants
hindi :
4 poems - make summaries
physics :
modern physics - revision and questions (only atoms and nuclei)
chemistry :
alcohols phenols and ethers - questions (hopefully)
i started today kinda late cuz i realised i ran out of most of my stationary and i needed some fresh air, so i went out and got some coffee too ehehe
let’s see how much i actually finish today tho 🥲
math is going to be the end of meeeeeeeeeee
(also i love my barbie exam pad 😋😋)
5.00 pm update - i feel really sick again, so i haven’t been able to do much, i might stay up late to finish my list (ugh when does this get better) i’ll come back to update when im done with at least one full section of the list. i’m gonna do it slowly so i don’t just give up tbh 😭 i gotta get back on my ors diet at this rate 🫠 im gonna get something to eat and then continue from 6 again 🫠
5.30 update - fainted, no wonder i felt sick 😭 WHY DURING BOARDS WEEEEEK AHHHH 🥲 anyways orsl ftw
9 pm update - okayyy so i fainted a few times (oops) but i think im okay now so i’ll just do what i was supposed to do for math and hindi and sleep, i tried doing physics but my brain really gave up 😭 i hate being sick ugh
11pm update - did another chapter of math, one more to go and then some hindi reading
23 february 2025 (pt.2)
oop okay part two cuz why not
i got new headphones today :))) and i’m determined on finishing organic chem tonight (i’ve been procrastinating this subject for YEARS)
to do list for tonight :
IUPAC nomenclature
isomerism
GOC
qualitative, quantitative analysis and purification
hydrocarbons
haloalkanes and haloarenes
alcohols phenols and ethers
aldehydes ketones and carboxylic acids
amines and diazonium salts
biomolecules
currently 11 pm - i’m done with :
IUPAC, isomerism and GOC
23 february 2025
ok so new game plan cuz boards are coming too 🥲
until boards :
study for math and hindi (i’m done with PCB studies)
finish off 12th physics and chemistry completely for neet - questions + pyq
during boards :
read 11th ncert and solve questions simultaneously
after boards :
revise 11th physics and chemistry
solve 150 questions for all important chapters and the solve questions of only the important topics from lower weightage chapters along with pyq for all
full syllabus mock tests with weak topic analysis and work on them
i did WPE today and realised my concepts aren’t as strong as i thought since my question applications aren’t working too well, so i’ll start over.
i also did 200 questions from haloalkanes and haloarenes today, i’m hoping to finish all of organic chemistry by today, so i might stay up pretty late for it but im definitely going to finish it.
i have to go back to school tomorrow for my hall ticket so that’ll take quite some time so i’ll just plan some content heavy but short chapters for tomorrow.
i spent an hour making a plan as to how i’m gonna do the next two months until neet and honestly writing it all down makes it so much easier. visualising how much i’ve got left makes it all less stressful even though ive got alotttt to do 🥲but ill get through it
just two more months.
