Good luck! Also, so lucky that you only have to wake up just after 7:00 for school. Generally, I leave before 7:00 to study or else leave at 7:45, so I'm up at 6:45.

Yesterday, I was in bed by 1:30 am when I was meant to be in bed by 11:00 am. But I didn't really feel tired as I also sleep late on Saturday, so yeah not the best start. Hopefully today will be better.
On a more positive note I woke up at 7:00 am but didn't get up until 7:20 am.
Good to see that you're increasing your sleep each night, at quite the pace as well! Keep it up and you'll be right on track for your goal :).Thank you for your kind words! :)

I went to bed at 2:50Spoilerbecause I had to study for a Maths test which I left the revision at the last minute. Dumb decision. The worst thing is I didn't even finish the test. The teacher was late, like the 2nd bell had gone by the time they came. This was especially annoying for this test because we had to draw graphs which is time-consuming.
Overall, Maths this year hasn't been great. Literally, the only test that I did well in was when the teacher gave us a week of revision (like all lessons in class to revise for that whole week prior to that test). I know I can do better but I just need to work harder and not leave things to the last minute. Any tips?
I woke up at 7:30.
By the way, I think this is a simple, yet briliant idea!Thank you!
Yet we somehow find ways to convince ourselves that 12:00am is "early". Do you have problems with sleep/wake consistency? Like, I kind of struggle sleeping well two nights in a row.Yeah I agree with that. In terms of struggling to sleep well two nights in a row, I feel like I'll roll around in my bed for a while before actually falling asleep.
One more thing, do you remove all technology from your bedroom at least 30-45 minutes before you go to bed? My bedroom should be for sleeping only, nothing much else.Ha ha, your funny. Yeah, I turn of my technology like 10 mins before going to bed. I should build on that habit. ::)
I’ve also been keeping tabs with my sleeping schedule - have got it down to a habit of getting into bed at 9:30, falling asleep at around 10:30 and getting up at 6am.Thanks for the tips :)
For me, I get into bed an hour earlier so I can relax and unwind from all the stress that is university. I turn off my data and wifi on my phone at around 10 and I just force myself to not turn data or wifi back on until at least when I wake up again. It’s worked quite well so far!
Hopefully this helps with your sleeping schedule!
How would you describe your progress so far? :)Interesting.... ::)
Interesting.... ::)
I guess it's improving, just slowly. Though making this journal has helped since it helps to keep my goals in mind.
Hey Snow Leopard!Hey laura,
What is your eventual aim?

Went to bed at 1:00 amWoke up at 7:30.SpoilerI procastinated doing HW so...
How do you find studying late at night, out of interest?Quiet. The good thing is that once your head hits the pillow you're falling asleep.
A book recommend you read is Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker.Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probs try to read in the next holidays.
I think you'll find some good actionable advice to achieving your goal as well as motivation as well.
Congratulations on doing so well on your goals!! I commend you! ;DThanks :)
Wow- you're doing an awesome job with your sleep!! Keep up the fantastic work!Thanks Laura, daylight saving didn't really help but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
If I don't complete any of these tasks, pls go full savage on me. I need the accountabilityGladly! ;D
how have things been¿?Bad cos I didn't get as much done over this week. But I'll hopefully be up to date before Monday.
Congratulations on how many of your goals you accomplished!! Looks like you had a super productive week. ;DThanks :)
Heyoo! I’ve been reading through your journal and I have to say wowowowow. It’s so amazing to see a fellow year 11 (next year, but same thing) trying so hard to achieve their goals!!Thanks, I'm glad the large amount of red (incomplete tasks) in my journal didn't scare you!
Also, I don’t if you mentioned this already but what LOTEs are you currently doing?I'd rather not say which LOTE's I'm doing
Keep up with the good work and hope you’ll be able to do well on your studies and other things. Also, good luck with commencement.. I feel your pain hahaThanks again :). I really need to find that study/chill balance.
Hey, Snow Leopard! ;DQuite badly :-[
How are you going with your goals?
Bump! How are you finding that your sleep pattern is changing with school holidays?Well, I've been waking up at a later time and going to bed at a later time as well. What's really concerning is that I'm actually oversleeping a lot, which is quite bad.
Quite badly :-[

Hey Snow Leopard!It was what I was aiming to get done today. Usually I set a timer for like 35 mins etc or however long I think a task will take me to keep me on track.
Is this what you are aiming to get done today?? How are you going so far? Do you have timeframes for your tasks?
