Should I quit commitments or try to manage them?

I’m really stressed out. I get about 5-7 hours of sleep per night. I’m self-studying three APs: Macro, Micro and Psych. I play piano at a post-secondary level and teach it to young kids. I’m taking three courses online to get rid of graduation requirements. I’m in numerous clubs, several music groups, and cross-country. I’m organizing an Model UN conference and I coach my school’s debate team. I tutor and volunteer at the library every week.

I want to quit some of these commitments but I’m worried that I’ll sour relations- I had planned to get reference letters and some of the organizers of my activities are very temperamental.

Should I quit everything or only the ones that aren’t useful? Or should I endure it for the rest of the year and not sign up again?
