leave at 3:15 PM. From there, I go to cross country, taking my time until 6:00 PM at the earliest.
Did I mention I have a serious akrasia problem?
I would look at these two things before considering dropping high school entirely. If you don’t intend on cross country having a positive effect on your college admissions, then you can exercise in a much more time efficient manner than 12.5hr/week long distance running. Your akrasia problem is not likely to disappear with increased free time and decreased structure.
Same here, if another datapoint helps. I’ve been out of school for almost two years now, and don’t feel like this has helped (it may or may not have hurt; I’m not convinced I’m calibrated well enough to say for sure).

This. Sometimes I do less when I have more free time, perhaps because the duties I have at least wake me up and set me in the motion.
Me too (though the effect is no longer as strong as it was when I didn’t use Beeminder and LeechBlock).
