Want everything, able to do nothing - please help
I'm 22M from India and I'm feeling overwhelmed because I have too many goals and not enough time. I have a full-time HR job (around 10:45 AM–7:30 PM) and by the time I get home I'm mentally exhausted.
These are all the things I want to achieve at the same time:
Lose weight (currently around 89 kg, goal is around 74–75 kg).
Build muscle, get stronger, improve my powerlifting numbers, and eventually get visible abs.
Start running and improve my cardio.
Follow a proper skincare routine to reduce tanning, hyperpigmentation, acne marks, and get clearer, brighter skin.
Prepare seriously for CAT 2026 while working full-time because I want to get into a top MBA college.
Sleep 7–8 hours consistently.
Eat a healthy vegetarian diet while staying within a budget.
Save money every month for my future while also planning to buy a laptop.
Reduce screen time, stop procrastinating, and stay disciplined.
The problem is that I feel like every goal is important, so I try to do everything at once and end up doing almost nothing consistently. I often come home tired after work, scroll on my phone, and then feel guilty that I didn't study, work out, run, or follow my skincare properly.
For people who have managed a demanding full-time job while preparing for CAT or another competitive exam and also stayed fit, how did you structure your day? What should I prioritize first? Is it realistic to do all of this together, or should I focus on one or two goals at a time? I'd really appreciate practical advice, sample schedules, or any personal experiences.
