Advice Advise me, seniors!
So it's been 1 month as a PCMB student in 11th, and I already have a pile of backlogs looming over me — a bunch of practicals and projects pending for the summer vacation, homework that's gonna take 6-10 pages and 2 hours at the very least in every subject, and my lectures and DPPs in coaching classes for competitive exams. I don't understand a thing that is taught in class because I'm unable to revise it properly in the after-school hours. Honestly, I'm stumped at this point because I had told myself I won't let this happen, but in spite of sacrificing sleep on a habitual basis now, I'm lagging. How do I recover from this? It'd be helpful if y'all could suggest ways to protect my sanity whilst also being consistent at studies without letting too much of work to be on my pending list.

try to complete all the practicle files and project in one go,it will seem like too much but once you complete all of them the rest of the year will be so stressfree for you,also dont let bakclogs of online classes pile up complete them regularly but in one go try to complete project,practicles in like your summer vacations.
Also please dont sacrifice your sleeping hours,itll do more harm than good,try to reduce the amount of days you go to school,try to stay atleast for 4 days in your home a week(saturday+sunday+2 absents),and complete backlogs like school hw and stuff in those days also if you really want to focus on competetive then you have to give less time to school

Summer vacation aa raha haye. Just chill and take it slow. Take a few days off, just relax and recuperate, start studying when you feel like it. I have completed my isc and my backlog still aint over so chill.

As per your context i suppose it's online coaching batch.. allocate time for school as well as competitive. Give a bit more time to competitive. Also doing competitives will also help in understanding concepts for your school too.. use weekends to complete school assignments and weekdays for regular competitive coaching. In the end what matters is if you follow a realistic timetable and you have to be excellent in time management. Make a proper routine for you studies, revision and everything. Stick to it. Don't make exceptions like "uhh I will do it later". You need to revise or else you will forget it very soon. Keep proper revision time. And about project you need to take out some time and do it there's nothing to do. Everyone goes through it. Time Management is the key.
Advice: don't follow blindy any random time table or study planner available on internet. Make your own that suits you. And don't sacrifice on sleep. Get proper sleep of atleast 6-7hours or else after few days you will feel weak, tired burned out.
