About

Do you constantly delay tasks until you're in a full-on panic spiral?
Ever watched just one more video... and then suddenly it's 5AM and you're questioning your life choices?
Got a brain full of goals but no clue where to start? If your to-do list haunts you more than your dreams, don’t worry — you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the series where we tackle procrastination, build tiny habits that actually stick, and turn chaotic energy into somewhat organized productivity.
No shame. No pressure. Just real tips, silly challenges, and friendly vibes.

This series is all about helping you go from “I’ll do it later” to “I did the thing.”

This isn’t a boring lecture series. You’ll be:

🗣️ Sharing ideas in fun, low-pressure discussions.

😅 Answering silly icebreaker questions & reflecting on your habits.

✅ Taking on once a weekly To-Do List Challenge.

🎡 Spinning a (friendly!) Penalty Wheel if you don’t follow through.

✍️ Trying out new tools and tips together.

🎉 Celebrating progress in a final reflection & community showcase.

What I Expect From You: (No pressure...just a little.)

1. Try your best to attend sessions and actually be here (mind and body… or at least mind).

2. Be Open Minded. We'll test out productivity tips, habit tricks, and a few silly challenges. No one’s perfect — just be open to experimenting.

3. Join The Conversation: You won’t be forced to talk, but sharing your thoughts, memes, and stories makes it more fun (and real).

4. Try the Weekly To-Do Challenge!
Set your own small, realistic tasks after each session — and follow through. (Or face our hilarious “penalty wheel.”) 💫

Hi there! :D I’m a rising senior from Turkey, currently gearing up for the SAT 2026. I’m a bookworm, a movie enthusiast, and someone who thrives on staying active through sports.^-^ I’m naturally ambitious (sometimes maybe too ambitious...〒▽〒 ) because I want to explore everything life has to offer — even if I know I can’t do it all at once. That’s why I’m so excited to be part of Schoolhouse, where I can not only sharpen my SAT skills but also learn and grow in so many other ways thanks to the incredible tutors (and learners) here! \(0^◇^0)/
