If you’re already feeling that back-to-school anxiety creeping in, this video is my exact reset plan to do weeks before classes start—so you’re not panicking the night before. I walk you through the difference between “winging it” and actually preparing strategically, because a smooth school year doesn’t happen by accident. I share the habits and systems I personally use to go from feeling lost and behind to turning things in early, following lectures better, and staying on top of everything. I break it down into four steps. First, I reset my routine: consistent wake-up time (no cheat days), early morning sun exposure, a simple daily schedule, avoiding afternoon naps (I’m a serial napper, so I have to be intentional), and “phone jail” an hour before bed to protect sleep and memory. Next, I prep my workspace by decluttering my bag, drawers, and desk, then making an inventory so I don’t buy doubles—plus my stationery staples like Muji binders, erasable pens, Mild Liners, and yellow pads. Then, I reset my digital spaces by deleting what I don’t need, backing up files (Google Drive + hard drive), and rearranging device screens to reduce distraction. Finally, a week before school starts, I set up my systems: my Notion dashboard (my second brain), Google Drive folders, and email labels so I can actually find important course emails later.
