Hey @yeah_it_tahtperson
I agree with all of the other responses posted by@Anzelmo @Eleanor-RO @November13 . It does sound like you have a very busy schedule and you have a strong sense of motivation! But like other said, it's important to monitor your workload throughout the week so that you don't overwork yourself! Overworking can leads to burntout, which in facts decrease the total amount of work you can do in the long-term.
However, on top of that, I want to provide a more personal and anecdotal response if that's helpful too :). I also did music ensembles during my last couple of years in high school too, in fact, that's pretty much all I did for co-curricular activities (I joined nearly all of ones that I could join in my school). And I loved them. I made some very good friends and had a really good time. It was also crucial to my wellbeing. However, now I'm in 2nd year uni and I kinda wished I had more varieties in my after school activities. I haven't got a part-time job until I was in 1st year uni and I'm still yet to get my driver's licence. I wish I did more work-experience and built up more time/stress management skills so that I could be more competitive amongst other job applicants. I wish I learned my drivers' license sooner so I don't have to spend 7+ hours each week just on public transport. I guess the point that I'm getting at is that, you have to balance what you enjoy doing in the short-term (what keeps you motivated on a daily basis and what works for you now) and what you think that's going to be beneficial for you in the long-term (what gives you an advantage in the near future or even further).
What you enjoy doing in the short-term can depends on your current circumstances, necessities, and desire. Do you think attending music ensembles on a weekly basis keeps you motivated throughout the week? If yes then keep it in your schedule. Similarly, do you think working for that gaming-chair (or the mere thought of it) is going to give you a lot of energy to work hard during the week? Do you thinking the sense of potential achievement and enjoyment is stimulating? If yes, then also consider make that a part of your weekly routine.
What considers beneficial for you in the long-term can also vary depending on your circumstances, necessities, and desire. Do you think learning a driver's license now is going to save you tons of time during the first couple of years in uni? If the answer is yes, then go for it, although it might seem a bit useless and time-wasting given that you've got used to public transport. Similarly, do you think getting more tutoring sessions that is going to save you tons of academic stress in the near future? Could it get you to a better place in terms of the degree you what to do and the uni you want to go to? If yes then I think it's worth sacrificing some time just to prepare you for that. The same applies to band, and getting a part-time job.
I guess balancing out the two forces mentioned above can be daunting and overwhelming. A list of pros and cons can be helpful. But if in any case you want to keep all of the activities, then that is a real time-management, and, even more importantly, stress-management challenge. That I won't go through for now or else this is getting too lengthy. But I'm more than happy to share my anecdotal ups and downs, and my tips in maintaining that balance.
Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know what you think.
Thanks heaps.
