What you need
Steps
Write down every subject you take and the next test, quiz or assignment due in each one. Add the date next to it so you can see what is coming first.
Mark your fixed commitments on the calendar first: school hours, sports, clubs, work and family time. These blocks are not free for studying.
Work out how many free hours you actually have each week after those commitments. Be honest, and leave some empty space so the plan survives a busy day.
Give each subject a set number of study blocks based on how close its deadline is and how hard you find it. A subject with a test next week gets more blocks than one with nothing due.
Place the blocks into your calendar at the same times each week, such as Tuesday and Thursday after dinner. Repeat the pattern so it becomes a habit rather than a daily decision.
Keep each block to 30 to 45 minutes and write the exact task inside it, like 'redo chapter 4 questions' instead of just 'maths'. A clear task makes it much easier to start.
Add a short review slot at the end of each week to check what you finished and move anything unfinished to the next week. Adjust the timetable instead of abandoning it.
Tips and common mistakes
Schedule your hardest subject for the time of day when you focus best, not just whenever a slot is free.
Put your phone in another room during a study block so you do not lose 20 minutes to scrolling.
Leave one empty evening each week as a buffer for catch-up and rest.
Review the timetable every Sunday and change what is not working after two weeks.
Questions
How many hours should I study each night?
There is no single number. Aim for a few focused 30 to 45 minute blocks rather than a long unfocused session, and increase it before exam periods.
What if I fall behind on my schedule?
Move the missed task to your buffer slot or the next week. A timetable is a guide, so adjust it rather than giving up on it.
Should I study the same subject every day?
Spreading a subject across several short sessions usually beats one long cram. Rotate two or three subjects through the week.
