What are good ways of staying organized in high school? #Fall24
This could be advice relating to school, clubs, general organizing and simply management. I want to use my time wisely in class and outside of class so I can have more "me-time" and time with family.
How can I get over this lack of motiviation?
I know I have interests, there's a section of my room dedicated towards things I truly know I care about. Guitar, Piano, Cameras, microphones for when I sing to record and my drawing tablet. But I can't bring myself to actually get up and practice - or if I do, I give up quickly. People say "you won't always feel like doing what you need too" or "find a job you love so you have a reason to get up everyday" but what if i struggle to even make it to that step? I can't find a reason to get up everyday - I just stare at the instruments and camera collecting dust - and feel guilty. Guilty that I have access to such tools that kids my age would kill to have - yet I can't find any passion, any motivation to try. Younger me loved being on the stage - playing piano, dancing etc. etc. but I just feel like no one is there to see my growth. I feel alone, and that might be why I don't try. I don't know if this is because my parents are unsupportive - practically my dad reminding me that it is "too late" for me to try and learn anything new. He's a harsh man, so maybe that could be a reason? I do have a therapist, if that is important - but it seems like no one understands what I have to say and I've been like this for the past three years. Does anyone else relate to this? How did you get over this hurdle?

How can I manage my time better so I can reach my goal of having a 4.0 this year while having extracurriculars and SAT preparations?
For context, I am taking 3 APs and an astronomy community college class. I am struggling the most with astronomy, physics, and math. I am also the Junior Officer for an aerospace organization at my school called Aerotech and I am a writer and editor for a club called ARRAS (Arts and Magazine Club). In addition to this, I am currently working on a research project and thinking of making a research club for my school and dabbling in music production (hopefully I can start producing music once I can effectively manage my time). In short, I have too much on my plate.
How to overcome thoughts about "not being productive" during holidays and breaks?
Hi, During the first year of high school, I began having thoughts during winter, spring or summer break about how I'm not being "productive", till now I still get those thoughts and I'm in university. It stresses me out and refrains me from fully enjoying my holiday/break. I'm afraid that these thoughts will continue after I graduate and have a job. Common phrases that pop up in my head are: -> You should get ahead of the curriculum. -> You should do online courses to gain more skills for the future. -> You should be productive, this isn't being productive. -> You have done nothing all day. -> You've got so many assignments upcoming.
How do you limit procrastination?
I think this has been an issue tons of people have because procrastination makes us lose some big opportunities. What are some tips that could help out with procrastination and increase my motivation to work?
I've applied to 19 (remote) internships and part-times, have gotten close to getting 84% of them and still being rejected. I don't feel bad, I know there are a lot of good, qualified applicants out there. I just want to get an idea of what else I could do now that I don't have any classes. I don't want to be unproductive.

How can I make others listen?
I feel like I am ignored, even when what I say is beneficial for progress. I'm sometimes passive, in fear of judgement or in an attempt to help others speak their mind so no disagreements arise. I want others to listen to what I have to say with as much respect as I give to them. I feel like some ideas I have are great ideas, but my method of execution might not be accurate. How can I make others listen to what I have to say? How can I keep their attention long enough to finish my thoughts before others interrupt? #listening-skills #listening #social-skills #workplace #productivity
