Maybe, but if I treat it like a shcool day, and still go out occasionally, how would I burn out, I was thinking of 30 hours a week minimum, not sure though.

lol srs. You do not need to work that much. I would instead set tasks. Do your belonging notes, find your RTs, analyse them, do your science notes for the first topic, etc. Make sure you are up to speed, but otherwise, kick back and relax. You have a long road left, and you will legit burn out if you continue at this pace.

Again, don't set time limits. Set goals. You will be less productive knowing you need to do 6 hours of studying, instead of thinking like "I need to do these two chapters of maths and finish my english notes today". Works much better. And you might even finish faster.

I agree with this 100%, I was also planning to set some tasks including finding some RTs, reading them and analyse, write some notes on further topics of Economics and Ancient History and do more maths :]]

I don't recall doing much work at all over the summer holidays. I think I read Frankenstein, and that was about it.
