Winter break rot prevention plan

Tmr will officially be my first day on winter break....and for the next 3 weeks im free from skewl but the problem is that there is a good chance I will start rotting which I really do not want to experience again........

I thankfully have duties (college apps) so I think that will act as some kind of pressure to keep me disciplined but i dont think thats enough...

I guess most of my friends from college are back so we will probably hang out and stuff but thats not enough either!!!

I have to keep on edge is what I learned because when I start a break thinking "well ig I can just relax and rot for first few days" that few days become multiple days to weeks and i end up rotting the WHOLE FUCKING TIME

So i have to stay proactive and make sure to plan each day, spread work out throughout the days and try to get a lot of stuff done in advance, take really GOOD BREAKS that actually ENERGIZE instead of overstimulating. I want to be more self-reflective and meditative too so I'm just more conscious with the decisions I make in general....

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR

• Sleeping late: During my 1 week long thanksgiving break I managed to flip my sleep schedule 360 and fuck up my body rhythm to fall asleep at 5 am...I AM NOT DOING THIS SHIT AGAIN BC IT LITERALLY THROWS THE REST OF THE DAY OFF!!! also the 8 hours I get from sleeping at 5 is not the same as a normal 8 hours....I literally can't function noramlly for the rest of the day...SO i have to make sure to keep it around to at least what it is now which is like 11-12 ish and waking up at 8 am
  
  
• SUGAR!!!: I think ive been doing better with this but sugar is lowk overstimulating like if you give me a bag of milanos and instagram reels my brain will actually melt into mush........so keep sugar at a normal "feel good" level
  
  
• DOOMSCROLLING: also been doing pretty ok w this. I at least got off of reels and shorts, but now I just binge watch 10 min yt vids like I used to before shorts platform content...I deleted yt off my phone which helped a lot but I'll be around my personal devices like my laptop more often now so I have to watch out...oughh..
  
  
• Calling for the whole day: holy shit. This shit's so overstimulating. I have to know when to cut it. This has been an issue for like 4 years and I always avoid addressing bc im like fomo :((( but i actually have to be normal
  

THINGS I WANT TO DO

• Consume certain media: movies, books, anime, etc...I should probably make a small list and plan out when I should spend time watching/reading them
  
  
• Get reallyyyyyyyyyyy good at Go.....
  
  
• Make videos! vlogs ig...uhh...idk
  
  
• Hang out more w friends...go thrifting more bc i want more clothes

THINGS I NEED TO DO

• College apps..........FUCKFUCKFUCK im at the point where it should be easier to write stuff though ugh
  
  
• Scholarships
  
  
• FAFSA! think it shouldnt take that long???
  
  
• A couple art related things: AP art, secret santa stuff, yearbook, etc..
  
  
• Take care of my clubs
  

its 11:48 pm so I will go to sleep soon...Im gonna quickly block out my day for tomorrow on google calendar though...mainly tomorrow will be focused on these I think:

• figure out what books and movies I want to get to
• Some housekeeping stuff for clubs, like officer meetings, announcements, etc
• College apps.....ugggrh.....
• Plan some study sessions w ppl probably..or hangouts or whatever just planning
• Play Go!! taking everything still roughly easy bc its the first day..

Maybe I can put up the christmas tree...draw for some personal projects, etc. Its supposed to be chill but still productive and proactive...organize everything on notion and google calendar...RAA
