# How do I balance boards/JEE prep with building my profile this summer?

Summer break is your best window, use the first 2 weeks to clear backlogs, then dedicate structured time (2-3 hours daily) to one meaningful EC. Don't try to do everything. Pick one internship or project and one skill-building course. Discipline comes from having a written weekly plan, not motivation, make a simple timetable and stick to it.
