Plan for my next 4 months

It's necessary to make a plan, I know that but somehow making a plan seems useless to me, partly because I hardly follow any rules and the other thing has to do with my laziness. I used to have many very specific plans for my studying, working, etc and I did finish some very first stages. But despite those efforts, I finally decide that it would be better if I simply set goal and try my best to achieve it, then no need to have a detailed plan.

OK, I'll try to make plan and stick to it this time, maybe I'll change my mind later on. Well, did I tell everybody that I'm very mutable?

1. My first priority is studying, of course, and the ultimate goal is passing all the exams with high grades. It seems to be too ambitious but that's what "goal" means, right? This semester's gonna be really hard, my timetable is full already, a lot of readings, quizzes, assignments are waiting for me. There is the time when I take a look at all those school stuffs and ask myself how I'm gonna finish them on time. Anyway, that's a must to do, I have no choice. Then I'll:
  1. Try to read all materials that professors give me before classes
  2. Try to understand (at least some parts)
  3. Update information about social life, economics, politics, etc
  4. Take careful note
  5. Make a to-do list each week and stick to it
  6. Deal with the "productivity killers" such as: lack of focus, procrastination and laziness

2. I've given up Yoga for a long time and now I want to practice it again. Last summer, I attended Yoga class frequently and my health was in good condition, but now it starts to against me. I'll try to meditate also, there is a meditation class that I intended to take part in this summer but I failed to organize my timetable. If I still can not make it through in the next 4 months, I'll ask the monk in the Zen monastery for the instruction, he said he would teach me in 2 hours or less. Hope that I can meditate at home.

3. I'll try to balance the amount of time spent on studying and hanging out with family and friends. As I always fail to manage my time budget, it's gonna be a difficult task.

4. I'll try my best to stick to the above plan.

Just wait and see how I'm gonna do it.
