What do you want to tell your chidhood self?

I would like to tell my childhood self doing more study. Although I've been studying hard, I should have concentrated on one category instead of huge range. I liked physics and wanted to be physicist. Everything doesn't go as planned though.

EverytThings doesn't always go as planned, though.

This is the idiomatic way to write it.

Having a specialization does seem to be exactly what society demands of people these days, but there is virtue in being a well-rounded person. Of course, you cannot and do not have to know everything, but you should at least have some awareness.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You teach me common, natural expressions, which is very helpful for my studies.
I will do my best to turn my various experiences into my strengths.

I would like to tell my childhood self doing moreto study more.

Or even "to do more studying".

Although I've been studyingied hard, I should have concentrated on one categoryarea instead of huge range.

1. "Although I've been studying hard" is grammatically correct by itself but it sounds like something that you've been doing recently. Given the context of you talking to about your childhood self, which is further in the past, "although I studied hard" fits the time frame better.

2. "Category" makes sense but sounds a bit unnatural. "Subject" or "area" are better I think.

I liked physics and wanted to be physicist.

Everything doesn't always go as planned though.

Or "not everything goes as planned though". Your original sentence was fine but sounded a bit stiff. I think these two options make it a little softer.

It's difficult to find the right balance because if I write the way I learned in school, it comes across as formal, but if I write casually, the meaning doesn't get across.

Yeah, it definitely can be hard to know what feels natural, but I think with time you'll pick up a lot of nuances subconsciously. If you keep at it, when you look back you'll realise how far you've come. In any case, you're definitely going the right way about studying - the 58 day streak is quite impressive :)
頑張ってね!
