Time. We all love to hate it.
"I need more time", "I don't have enough time" and "How does x person finish it in this y time?" This is a common thread in life, but particularly in your final years of highschool.
The look for guides "Increase in productivity", "How to stop procrastinating" or "How to get more out of your day". So you can squeeze just that little bit more out of your time to get what you want.
I think all those guides have a place, but I haven't just had the same effect compared to the grandmaster on this topic. Who you wonder?
Seneca. A Roman Stoic Philosopher. He wrote a fantastic letter about this topic itself, which has been nicely summarized-------->
Here. Click Me :DI'll list the quote that has the biggest impact on me though from this letter.
"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it."
So when your going to complain about time. Remember this passage about it. As Laura Vanderkam said in her Ted Talk about time:
"Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we've got."mod edit: fixed broken link
