The 'Art School Weekly Study Companion Guide' stressed me out a bit as well and I originally went up to term 3 just following the assignments and ignoring the weekly study guide. However I have since restarted and I am following the guide now and I am glad I did, it can be tedious at times but for me it has definitely been worth it.
I dont have the capacity to do all those daily tasks in one day too so I broke down the study guide so when it says daily for a week I have it listed down as completing the task 7 times. Here is how I broke down Term 1 (photoshop tasks left out):
Term 1 (0/24):
[] Nude figure drawing Assignment 2: Page of Cylinders (0/7)
[] Nude figure drawing Assignment 3: 10 Skeletons over photo references (0/7)
[] Pen control practice from Top 10 Drawing Exercises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C87ZXHPQkh0 (digitally or traditionally) (0/7)
[] Nude figure drawing Assignment 2: Page of Cylinders (0/7)
[] Nude figure drawing Assignment 3: 10 Skeletons over photo references (0/7)
[] Gesture 30 seconds - 30mins (0/7)
[] Study (copy) characters from professional artists/shows/games you like (lineart only) (0/5)
[] Pen control practice from Top 10 Drawing Exercises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C87ZXHPQkh0 (digitally or traditionally) (0/7)

[] Gesture 60 seconds - 30mins (0/7)
[] Perspective 1 assignment 2: Practice drawing cubes and then simple sculpted shapes in 1 and 2 point perspectives (0/7)

[] Perspective 1 assignment 4: using 2-point perspective, draw a street corner with at least 1 building (no more than 3 buildings in the frame) (0/1)
[] Study (copy) 3 environment drawings from professional artists/shows/games you like (lineart only) (0/3)
It feels quite satisfying ticking off each task at a time, each "block" is a week of the study guide so I just complete a block at a time and make my way through it. This works for me but obviously some people may not like it. Thought I would share it anyway : )
The term I pasted above can be pasted into an app called "Obsidian" which will format it quite nicely and you will be able to actually "tick off" each task as you complete it.
I have done this for term 2 and term 3 as well and you can find it on my art school journey if you like this breakdown and copy it
Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing your progress through the course : )
