How to allocate time correctly?

Question

IT education

I immediately apologize for this question, because it is up to me to decide where the time will go, not you. I am writing this question so that you can give some advice or some point of view.
I am 16. There are two more years of study ahead.
For two years in a row I became a winner (3rd and 5th place) in physics at the regional stage. (But I always wrote terrible work)
I do programming, but at some point I realized that my day is not structured. I can write code all day, and the next two lie on the couch watching funny (stupid) videos. So I decided to make a schedule for the day. There are several basic subjects that I 'need': physics, mathematics. I'm really interested in IT and English.
And here a dilemma arises (whom to listen to parents, teachers or incomprehensible people from the Internet) between physics, sports programming, mathematics (I don’t really like to do this, but sometimes you need to sacrifice in life) And system programming, as well as writing a library for VK Bots API (I really like to study the linux kernel, to understand how the computer works from the inside).
Why math, physics and sports programming?
1. Opportunity to win an Olympiad in physics, mathematics or computer science (region) -> enter a good university
Why system programming?
1. It seems to me that this should become my future profession.

Help me choose between these two things.

sports programming

If we are going to do sports programming, then how?
I can sit all day on a problem without solving it or looking at the answer. How long does it take to solve it and after what time to look at the solution? Or is it better to read books first, and then go into practice?

Answer 1

Learning is brain development. The brain develops if it is regularly strained. As are muscles. When you just start playing sports, at first nothing works, everything hurts and you really want not to do it. You have to force yourself. If the will is enough, then one day you just get used to it at least. As much as you get involved, the process begins to give pleasure. Especially when you start to see inspiring results.
I also started at 16. Before that, I was a very average PC user and used it mainly for games. I was generally bad at math. Everyone around me considered me an incorrigible humanitarian. But I set a goal for myself and began to work daily to achieve it. It was hard, really wanted to score, especially after failures. The first six months, in general, all free time was given to training. Somewhere around 8-9 months there was a turning point, the brain adapted, I got involved and the process began to bring pleasure. From that moment on, I had to force myself to do something other than programming.

Answer 2

Either physics or programming.
1) Mathematics is very necessary for physics. You can read (there used to be such) the magazine "Quantum". From programming I know MatLab. I also like the functional approach (Haskell).
2) If programming (including sports), then I liked Andrey Stankevich's lectures.

Answer 3

My PERSONAL opinion
of the Olympiad is good, but it will only help in a little study of the material, I don’t know about universities right now, but it seems like they don’t care about it)) EGE is running (so that it can be canceled)
As for structuring
Woke up, charging
breakfast
a work plan for the day You solve the problem / bug or not)
warm-up every 2 hours
lunch
work further
6-8 pm (depending on when you got up) lights out, take care of yourself. take a walk, videos, etc., what is interesting (not work and what is connected with it)
well, dinner)

Answer 4

"I can write code all day, and the next two I'll be on the couch watching funny (stupid) videos."
Go in for sports to develop willpower and overcome difficulties.
It is necessary to constantly train yourself in overcoming difficulties and one day this can become strength or will or willpower.
