Synopsis

You are lucky you are given the chance to work while you study. Sounds really fortunate! But what if school gets so demanding and work is equally challenging, what will you do? Would you still think it’s a blessing or a curse?

The Balancing Act

Before you break in exhaustion just by the thought of it, let me share a few tips on how you are going to manage your work and school effectively and realistically. Although we all know that trying to do it all may make or break you. We will be dealing this situation with great caution.

1. Learn and practice how to be organized. Having everything in order will let you do things easily and stress free which will help you save significant time for other valuable tasks.

2. When you plan out your to-do-list and set your schedules, allocate 10 to 15 minutes allowance for you to prepare for the next task.

3. Be realistic when making your action plan and schedules. You may want to observe first your activities and time spending habits before you go ahead and make a plan.

4. Make your fixed schedules known to your direct supervisor, clients, classmates, friends and family so that they will not distract you on those times.

5. Working and at the same time studying in school is definitely draining. However, you can manage your stress if you know proper time management.

Above all, always remember your main motives why you are doing the things that you are doing, it is because by knowing your real objectives you can make things happen. Yes, there would be a lot of challenges but if you believe your goals, you are capable of transforming your plans into a fantastic reality.
