Question:
Shcool and work, and freinds how to balance and not fail please help?
I work full time at a kinda stressful job, but im only 22 and NEED to be in school full time, how can i possibly do this without burning out?
Answers:
The key is time management. Unfortunately, when you're working with as many commitments as you have described, it's very easy to get off track. Get a day planner, and block out time to do what is necessary:
* Going to work (obviously)
* Attending classes
* Homework (the usual ratio is 3 hours for every hour in class, but tailor that to your specific needs)
* Meal time, time to run errands, etc
* Time to spend with friends
* DOWN TIME - this is the most important, and I don't mean just for sleep. Everyone needs some time to just unplug and just relax. Whether it's just watching TV, listening to music, working on a hobby, whatever...this is an important time.
If you do this, try to make a schedule you can live with, try to give yourself a little bit of extra time here and there in case things get behind.
Good luck!
