## Prompt

```text
Build me a realistic weekly study schedule for this term.

**My classes:** [COURSE, meeting days and times, how hard it is for me, typical weekly workload]
**Work or other fixed commitments:** [JOB SHIFTS, SPORTS, CLUBS, COMMUTE, FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES]
**When I focus best:** [morning / afternoon / night]
**Sleep I need:** [e.g. "in bed by 11:30, up at 7"]
**Big recurring deadlines:** [e.g. "weekly lab report due Mondays", "problem sets Thursdays"]
**What's gone wrong in past terms:** [e.g. "I cram on Sundays", "I skip readings"]

Rules:
- Use the common guideline of roughly 2 hours of study per credit hour in college (less in high school) as a starting point, then adjust to what's realistic for my load.
- Put harder subjects in my best-focus times.
- Keep study blocks 25-90 minutes with breaks; include a short review right after lectures where possible.
- Protect sleep, meals, and at least one real rest block.
- Leave flexible catch-up time each week.

Return:
1. A weekly table: Time block | Mon to Sun.
2. What each study block is for (e.g. "Bio: read chapter before Tuesday lecture").
3. A 10-minute Sunday planning routine to adjust for the coming week.
4. What to cut first in a heavy week.

If the total doesn't fit, tell me honestly and suggest options to discuss with my advisor or employer.
