how not to lose my future?

𝓜𝔂 friend once told me I'm the most organized, got-her-shit-together person she knows. It was maybe two years ago — I was doing home school, tutoring kids in Math and English and knew what I wanted to do after high school. This was exactly how I wanted to be perceived.
Truth was uglier — messy room, sleeping till noon, studying less than I could have. In Poland, where I live, the home school system is much different than in the USA. You are still doing the same curriculum as kids in traditional schools, just from your home. Then you are tested by your homeschooling institution. If you fail your grade, you are by law obligated to go back to regular school.
I didn't do any of that. I learned just so I can pass with easy As. But I could have done more.
Now the first year of my university is almost over and, once again, I feel like I could have done more.
This isn't where I am going to give you 10 steps to be the best version of yourself. I don't know the steps; I'm so much less than I should be. B U T this can change. So, if you are interested, welcome.
I think I'm going to post a note like this every Sunday. I will be good for my discipline.

In her videos, Michela Alloca talks about how important setting up the non-negotiables — that is a small things you just do every day. Here is a list of mine:
1. Make my bed every morning: room I rent is already small, I don't need to make it smaller by having a constant mess. Unkept bed is, I feel, a big part of this mess.
2. Go to bed in a clean room: My life was a mess - but I could clean my room*. My Venus in Capricorn could use some, nice, clean space.
3. Study at leats an hour a day: what can I say - I need to pass my finals. And I want to buy myself a nice pair of heels for my graduation.
