How do I plan my week when my training load changes?

Time & Structure

Build two plans, a normal week (Version A) and a harder week (Version B). On Sunday night, decide which kind of week this really is before you commit to what gets done.

How do I stop competitions and deadlines landing in the same week?

Time & Structure

Put every competition, deadline and exam on one timeline. When both sides of your life are in one view, you can see a clash early enough to move work.

How do I make a study schedule during the season?
