time management advise?
Hello.This is something I've been struggling with, but haven't had much success. Either that, or I do succeed to a certain extent, then go back to my usual old self.So, here's the deal.Here in India, there's way way too much educational pressure, and a tuff competition everywhere to boot. This means that not only do we have to take up much more than necessary(me having to study social studies, and at least 4 other subjects which I absolutely do not need to pursue for what I want to be my profession -computer science) but there's a lot of pressure due to the extensive competition (probably due to the overpopulated country).I'm now in my second-last year of school, and after giving the exams of last year I honestly thought it couldn't get any worse, but I was wrong.The curriculum has grown 10-fold, especially with the electives I've chosen, as they finally gave me a choice to not take all the subjects that exist on this planet.So much so, that it took around half a year for me to adjust just to the fast-paced study structure, then there's around 30 chapters in each subject, and each chapter so big that well I no longer find the joke I used to make with my sisters that I could do weightlifting with their books all that funny any more. However, here is the bigger picture.If, these subjects taught me what I wanted to learn, or what I was interested in learning? Then sure, I'll take it, OK so not all that I'm interested in but at least 50%? 40%? However, even after reaching to the end of my school life I still have to study much more than necessary and the ratio of my interests in regards to academics is just 90-10, where the 10% is the computer science subject we're taught that seems to be a bit more advanced then the last 10 years where I was studying ms word, xl, etc etc nearly every year. However, even that's not quite on the level as the python that's taught in school now, is something I learnt on my own, about 3 and a half years ago.So essentially the situation has not changed much, I still have to struggle with the shit pile that doesn't appeal me in the slightest and its becoming quite hard to focus on that because I'm honestly getting sick of it and want to take some time out for what I want to do as well. I've struggled with this for more than 10 years of my life, I don't want to do it anymore, at least not the exact same way. I essentially would just sit at my study table, scratching my ass off, attempting to stay at the top of the class whilst facing the challenges of getting accessible material-often typing entire books myself- and not getting much of a childhood honestly, in regards to toys or games which is not all studies, a lot of it is also to be blaimed on the technological level of our country not quite as advanced as some other countries, but that is most certainly not my point. I do treasure my childhood and the memories just like anybody else and that's not what I intend to discuss, nor am I here to complain. So, back to the point at hand, I want to do something different now, bring achange and manage my time in an efficient way. I want to be able to manage the studies, and also get time out for other hobbies such as coding, sound design, music production, etc. This messy education system is also why I am planning to apply abroad for a Batchelor degree as I simply cannot and will not take this in college, there at least I want to be able to do what appeals me, what fascinates me. So, I do need time to prepair for that as well, since the pattern followed by our country and those that I intend to fly to in 2 years are quite different, plus also giving the Sat's and other exams etc. So, any tips in regards to distributing my time in an efficient way? I do think I need time for everything, as by simply studying, I'll probably go crazy there's just way too much, that I simply have to learn for the sake of learning and getting grades, and I've been able to manage for the last 10 years, but this is just way too much, this is specialisation level stuff, something that is intended for those who are actually interested in their specific fields, such as chemistry. A computer scientist like me does not need to study about periodic tables, bonds, structures, at least not in the depth that its taught, nor the animal and plant kingdoms in such variety that it just comes down to learning the names and their properties whole. Anyway, this post was kind of all over the place but I hope I was able to put across a clear enough idea for you all to understand my situation.Thanks in advance for your responses.Regards.
