Also, from your last two posts it sounds like you really want to quit your job. I would say keep it for now, it's good to have a change of pace job so you are interacting with different people on a day-to-day basis. Also, you can dump all that money earned into savings.
I would ask to scale back and maybe work M-Thur at that job. Will that be allowed? If so your schedule could look like:
If I were in your shoes:
Mon: 9:30 wake up, 10:45-2pm job, 2-3 gym, 3-5 lunch/relax, 5-7 study, 7-8 relax, 8-9 dinner, 9-11 study, 11-12:30 relax get ready for bed
Tue: 9:30 wake up, 10:45-2pm job, 2-3 gym, 3-5 lunch/relax, 5-7 study, 7-8 relax, 8-9 dinner, 9-11 study, 11-12:30 relax get ready for bed
Wed: 9:30 wake up, 10:45-2pm job, 2-3 gym, 3-4 lunch, 4-11 social time, hang with friends 11-12:30 relax get ready for bed
Thur: 9:30 wake up, 10:45-2pm job, 2-3 lunch, 3-5 study, 5-6:30 relax, 7-2am work
Fri: 11am wake up, 11:30-12:30 gym, 1-2 lunch, 2-4 study, 4-6:30 relax, 7-2am work
Sat: 11am wake up, 11:30-12:30 gym/study optional, 1-2 lunch, 2-6:30 social time, 7-2am work
Sun: 11am wake up, all day social time, gym and study optional
My advice..don't go gung ho all at once....phase things in, phase things out. phase out the day job, if your in a time crunch, but try out a new schedule for 3 months before making this decision. Do you think I am putting too much on my plate or can this all manageable so long as I stay on track?
phase in the gym and study. don't need to do either 7 days a week to start. start 4x a week at the gym and 4x a week studying. if you feel more inspired, add an additional day or two to either. but only doing 4x a week to start wont make it feel like a burden.
always leave time for play.
stay disciplined as fck. i find writing down the things you've accomplished at the end of the day/week shows how much progress you're making and where you might need to adjust.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions.
EDIT: 3 out of the 7 days should be the "all business mode" days where you make no exceptions for anything. Ideally Mon, Tue, and Thur
