1. plan everything well
2. ...
Suggestion 2: Set a fixed time for singing practice and strictly follow a study schedule. For example, finish homework first after school, then spend a reasonable time (like 30—60 minutes) on singing, and review or preview lessons.（合理规划唱歌和学习时间，先完成作业，再分配规定时长给唱歌，兼顾两者。）
？
Suggestion 3: Communicate with the music club about adjusting activity times if possible, to avoid conflicting with study-critical periods (like before exams). (尝试和音乐俱乐部沟通， 调整活动时间，避开考试等学习关键期。）
