Taking Calc AB in school, but BC exam (should I?)

I am currently a sophomore taking these classes (AP): Calc AB, Stats, Physics 1, Lang
These classes non-AP: chem honors, world history

So I want to pursue a career in math (looking into pure/applied math majors- I really want to major in math). I want to try a dual enrollment program next year that my school offers, but you have to take a higher level calc as a prereq. So, would it be feasible with my schedule to take the BC exam while doing the AB class? I know my classes are pretty heavy (I think they are pretty cool so far), but I don't want to make a bad decision by signing up for the exam and then failing it. I know flippedmath and khan academy are good resources, but is it realistic for me, given I already have a tough schedule?

What can I do to fix this? I just want to get things done, why is that so hard?

​

Hello. I am in highschool, and have been struggling with productivity. I feel like I am in this sort of loop of constantly making bad decisions that lead to exponentially worse outcomes (i.e. if I spend all night scrolling, I have no energy to work, so then I just scroll even more). I am just so sick of doing this all the time- like I know what I need to do to be successful, but screens have been preventing it. I even tried to challenge myself by going a few days without screens, but after those few days ended I just went back to scrolling.

​

It is currently summer break, which is the best time for getting things done, and I haven't done any real work. I want to accomplish so much and I literally know what I have to do to accomplish it, yet I just can't seem to have the discipline. I feel like I am too idealistic when it comes to these things, because I have it all planned out in my head, but can never seem to execute it. It's just so daunting and draining to look at all the work, and I think having so many things to focus on at once makes me feel tired ( like switching between tasks- idk, it would just be easier to focus on one thing each day).I just feel like I have lost all my hobbies and work ethic to screens, and I really don't want this to continue. I hate this feeling that I am knowingly sabotaging my dreams, like I am so painfully aware of it.

​

Any advice is much appreciated.
