### Weekly Reflection (Example: Week of May 6 - May 12)
**Prompts:**
1. What were my biggest academic achievements this week?
1. In what areas did I feel a sense of balance between my studies and personal life?
1. What aspects of my well-being need more attention next week (e.g., sleep, exercise, social connection)?
1. What did I learn about managing my time and energy effectively?
1. What is one intention I want to set for the upcoming week to enhance my balanced planner?
**My Notes:**
* _This week, I finished two major assignments ahead of schedule and got a good head start on my final project. I also managed to attend all my lectures._
* _I felt a good balance on Wednesday and Friday, as I made sure to incorporate a longer walk and spent time with friends in the evening. My sleep has been more consistent than usual._
* _I need to pay more attention to my hydration next week, as I noticed a dip on Tuesday. Also, I want to dedicate specific time for a hobby, like painting._
* _I learned that scheduling my breaks and exercise in advance makes me more likely to stick to them. Also, breaking down large tasks into smaller steps helped reduce procrastination._
* _For next week, I intend to prioritize at least 7.5 hours of sleep every night and schedule 3 specific times for painting to ensure I'm nurturing my creative side._
