Need help with discipline
Hello everyone,
I’m entering college this fall, and I honestly feel unprepared. While I did well in high school, I feel like it’s because of the structure that teachers gave me. Without it, I think I would be unmotivated and have poor time management. Does anybody have any tips or are in the same boat? Please let me know!

I don't know if this would work for you but what helped me was a few things. First was grace. Knowing I preemptively that each week I'd be overwhelmed and that's ok.
1. Every Sunday, Monday, or whatever day gives you time, look at your schedule for the week. What reading, assignments, or papers were due that week.
2. As a lifelong procrastinator I read somewhere a mantra that if you think it will take 15 minutes, just do it. That really helped me. And I'd set a timer and do as much as I could in that 15 minutes. (cleaning, homework, folding clothes, doing dishes). Often I surprised myself with how little time things took.
3. This one is pretty specific to me so take it with a grain of salt. Monday or as early in the week as I can. I do what I think are the easiest assignments. that way I have less to worry about for the longer and harder assignments.
