How can I balance life, work and school?
Get a big calendar or planner, start with what you cant change. Like classes, list the mandatory lessons, groups, appointments, study blocks.Look at work, is it part time, casual, are there regular shifts? If not, can you get regular shifts. It’s about having structure and routine.Look at what is left, is there enough space left for your time? Just like you should always pay yourself some of your wages, you need to have guilt free down time.And if there’s not enough time for you, change something. Whether you roster yourself ‘off’ every second Saturday and Tuesday, or Monday mornings and Friday nights, you have to give yourself a break.And say no to people, if you want to stay in bed and read a book, do it. If you want to go see a movie, do it. Pencil yourself in to your schedule.If you don’t give yourself some quiet time to relax and recharge, you wont need to balance the rest, because you’ll end getting fired from work and dropping out of school.
How do I balance work, school, and exercise?
I'm a junior in college and I become increasingly busy every year i'm in college. I'm working 17 hours a week. I go to class 15 hours a week. Basically every day I am waking up at 8:30 and going to work then I have about an hour then I go to class. My day typically goes until 5:30/6:00. I just can not find time to work out enough. My workout that I enjoy takes me about an hour and a half but I sweat and I have to shower afterwards or at least change out of my workout clothes for work or class. So realistically it's a 2 hour process. I really do homework every day for at least an hour sometimes more. I also take time to eat and shower. How can I fit my workout in and still be in bed by like 11 pm? Any tips on how to balance this sort of schedule without feeling rushed around every day?
What's the best way to balance work and school?
I will tell you what I did for undergrad and it was a method I developed in grammar school, actually. I crammed classes in from 8a to 3p Monday through Thursday, 6 classes and 3 labs, and I'm talking Anatomy/Physiology, Chemistry, Nutrition, English, Spanish and Western Civilization here, with labs in three. I worked 6a to 4p Friday through Sunday. The semester is 15 weeks for everyone but me. On Day 1, I broke the syllabus into 12 weeks. No matter where the professor was, I was ahead, recording their lectures with a recorder in my bag, and I was busy writing sections of the textbook out for where I was on my 12-week plan. Then I went home and typed my notes on the computer, thus re-reading and reinforcing, plus it was neater. I would insert any relevant lecture material, but I was ahead and more thorough because I was writing from the text. I lived in a small apartment to keep housework minimal, worked a physical job that didn't require thinking so I could conserve my mental energy, and denied myself a social life. I had such good grades with my method that I quit my job my third year and started selling my notes and getting paid to do research and writing for other students. I graduated with a 3.59, Cum Laude, with a family who thought I was crazy and a very proud daughter who was 2 when I started the journey as a single working mother and 6 when I graduated. It all has to do with priorities, and mine was to make sure that she never knew a childhood like mine. No, my family did not babysit; I paid daycare and friends, and NEITHER of us regret how I raised her (and myself!) FOCUS. DO NOT LET OTHERS DISCOURAGE YOU.
How do I balance work and life in graduate school?
In graduate school, you need to stay organized and discipline. Set a daily agenda and make sure you complete all the important things prior to having fun and going out. Only check qura after you've completed all your important tasks.
Balancing school work and sports?

How do I balance school work and basketball?
With great skill. This is one of the hardest things to do, as most adolescents are forced into school, work, social life, and a sport or another extracurricular activity. Make sure that you are prioritizing the issues most likely to effect your long term success. This means, focus more on school, and dedicate about 2 hours a week for homework and study to each subject. Just chip away, and put in 20 minutes of a subject at a time. If you have a job (which you probably don’t if you are in middle school), choose hours, preferably on weekends that don’t effect your sleep patterns or study time. Then, after these two main things, you can focus on basketball and social life. I recommend working for small segments of time on just spot shooting and free throws, with some dribbling drills thrown in. Good luck making the difficult transition from middle school to high school. They are nothing alike.
How do you balance work/school life and social life?
I admit, it’s difficult. It’s never been easy, but modern technology has made it and continues to make it harder. I’ve been in the workforce for 15+ years, and my children are in grade school, and believe it or not, we all struggle finding ways to balance our responsibilities, our activities, and time to relax and unwind.There are a few ways that you can “force” yourself to relax and find some balance, but it takes a concerted effort and someone to hold you accountable.For one, you have to force yourself to schedule time for yourself. Especially if you’re a people-pleaser, you need to learn some way to politely decline requests or invitations that will stretch you too far. Eldar Shafir, a psychology professor at Princeton, recommended a rule for choosing which request to agree to if someone wants to schedule something with you a few weeks out. If you wouldn’t say yes to the invitation if it were for tomorrow, you should turn it down. Your life will be just as easy in a few weeks.You should probably also take stock of what makes you happy and what you’re doing to fill time. For young people, much of what they do on social media is to keep up appearances, although many report that they don’t feel edified by the “work” they do to prune their online presences. If you can start to eliminate those activities that make you happy and fulfill you in some way, be it by making a difference in your community, doing your job to the best of your abilities, or helping you become a better person, you’ll find yourself less scattered.I hope this helps!
How do i balance high school and a job?
It's funny how you don't want people to say you aren't "mature" enough for a job. HONEY, there are kids your age asking how to check if you're pregnant on here! You are far beyond mature, good job (: also, I am going to be a senior this following year and I could tell you this: high school will only get tougher (except maybe senior year, but I don't know for sure haha) so if you plan to keep up and get good grades (especially if you're an advanced and competitive student like me) I advise you to face your priorities: mine (and should be close to yours) is Grades/classes/credits/homework, maintaining a healthy lifestyle (like sleeping enough and working out maybe), THEN it might be work/jobs (although I don't have a job) Unless you are well into sports like me and is working towards a sports scholarship, than that goes close to school/health. Other than that make sure you have time to have FUN. I also advise that you don't work EVERYDAY. Either weekends only or some weekdays. You won't be able to keep up if you work too long for too many days. Make sure of this. Good luck <3
How to balance time with my family, work and school?
I am currently a full time student and work part time, I am also in a relationship. Trying to make time for everyone is really hard for me. For Example, this friday was my little cousin bday and I was not able to go because of work. I was able to go with them to the lake on Saturday. However, they want to hang out again Sunday. That is really stressful for me because I also need time for myself to rest as well as my girlfriend. How do I deal with all this? They force me to to places.
