    assuming that your school is 9-4 (which is in england it may be different in ur school) then:
    1.Find time for about four hours after school- one hour for the juz that u are currently learning
    one hour for a juz of dor(previously memorized)
    one hour for doing tilawat of three paras (by memory when u get stuck look inside)
    one hour for learning the next days of new sabaq.
    2.two hours in the morning (before and after fajr). one and half hours to solidly memorise your new sabaq (1st thing in the morning)
    half an hour togo over the last few days of sabaq.

    REMEMBER: There is no ONE-TABLET-STYLE of learning. different people have different methods so if you have a teacher then consult him.

    If you give me a layout of your day and how much hifz u have done and you goals and aims then i will inshallah help u come up with a plan.

    I want to give two tips for anyone doing hifz.
    1-Repitition is key to learning. The more you do the better
    2-CONSISTENSY

    No need to memorize till 10.00 and one page.

    Try memorizing 5 lines or more. Bear in mind that this should be perfect and fine.

    Stress more on your back memorized juzs (if memorized any)

    I recommend you to start 30th juz first.
    If I or any of my posts hurt you anytime, either here on this forum or anywhere outside this forum, then I ask sincere forgiveness from you.
    Wassalaam...

    My boys wake up at 5:45am to be in the lounge for 6:10am where their dad sits with them to pray/memorise until 8am. School at 8:30am and finishing at 4pm. They go to madrasah at 4:30pm to learn again and return at 7:30pm- 8:00pm. This is 5 days a week. Saturday morning they go madrasah at 7am to 11:00am-ish and learn on Sunday evenings for an hour or two.

    It's definitely a difficult process for some, but that’s where the reward lies.

    i would love to wake up before fajr but parents would never let me. It seems what really makes my journey hard is im unable to be consistently motivated to memorize, as a result, i fall behind.

    I owe you an apology for my late reply so please forgive me.

    First i have to say that everyone is different so feel free to change bits to suit your learning style but i would recommend the following:

    5:00-7:00 use this time to learn your new sabaq. I would advise about a side but if you can do more than do so but find a number and keep consistent.
    7:00-8:00 take a break and do things that u may need to do
    8:00-9:00 Learn the juz that your new sabaq is in and if it is at the start then learn about a half or 3 quarters before. (know as sabaq para or sabqi in urdu)
    9:00-10:00 learn a juz everyday from the your previously memorized juz. (known as dor or manzil in urdu)
    The time at 6.30 to 7.30 in the morning find at least 15 mins to go over the new sabaq learned the previous night. Both looking in and by memory.

    I will inshallah give u more advise but please confirm that you have read what is above and feel free to discuss anything you may want to change.

    Ps: normally i would have advised you to ask your teacher to help you devise a program but i understand from your posts that you are unable to do so, is that the case?

    Here are some tips:
    1.If you can keep a phone with you and load it with mp3s of the juz that you are learning and listen to whilst you walk.
    2.Whilst walking read your memorized ayaats as much as you can throughout the day. The more you do this the more it will enforce you inside your head.
    3.I understand that you may not be able to keep a quran with you at all times but what you can do is take a photo with your phone of the page and when you need to take a quick look to remember some ayaats then you can do so.
    4.Read the memorized ayaats in your salaah.
    5.Resolve your whole day around the quraan.
    6.Try to read at least 3 juz from memory everyday. (you can do this one once youve learned more juz)
    7.when youve learned something and need to find ur mistakes close the mushaf and record yourself on ur fone. Then listen to yourself whilst looking inside the mushaf and circle your mistakes.

    Needless to say but ask Allah (swt) for help and guidance.
