Getting my s**t together.
 

After failing a subject in uni last year, I really need to get myself together. I'm glad to have another chance at passing the subject I failed, but I really don't want it to happen again. Also, I need to start making sure my grades are the best I can get them to be so I can get in to Honours. So I made a pledge to ensure I put study above all else. That pledge horrendously failed.

I had to find a way to get a good study habit going, but also making sure I don't sacrifice too much time to just commit to study, or else I'll eventually just lose it and be too stressed to study further.

Then I saw a blog that LiquidTLO posted on Reddit:

I asked him on twitter what he used to make his schedule and joy of joys he replied to me and told me he used Google Calendar. I didn't even know about Google Calendar until today (yes, I am ridiculously slow).

I have to admit, Google Calendar's probably one of the best things that I have ever come across that can actually help me with both study and everyday life. I haven't really made a schedule myself before, and using this made it much easier for me to actually make one.



It's a pretty straightforward schedule that includes all my classes for the week and also making sure I get going to uni/get home at the time mentioned so I don't get late as much as possible or waste time that I could have used productively by dawdling around uni.

I made sure to prioritize getting all the times I have decided to commit to studying first, then the fun stuff. Wherever I have Starcraft II/Free Time I do either one of the two, or spend that time with half of it playing Starcraft II and the other half on Free Time (which includes things like chores, exercise, doing errands and maybe going out). I'm pretty anti-social outside of uni or home though, so I wouldn't really be going out much; which honestly works for me.

With this schedule I aim to equally enjoy my life, making sure I do my best in uni by ensuring I give myself ample time to study hard, and get to my personal goal by the end of this year of being a M/GM player on the SEA server at least.
I'm aware that there will be times that I wouldn't be able to follow the schedule because of events or if I decide to join any tournaments/participate in clan wars and I would be forced to sacrifice a lot of my SC2/Free Time timeslots to exam study or to get major assignments done, but hopefully I will be able to follow the schedule as much as possible.
