Hi Jelian, great question!
To manage your studies while working, it’s important to focus on time management, organization, and setting clear priorities.
Here are a few strategies:
-Create a schedule: Block out specific times each day for studying and working. Having a set routine helps you stay organized and ensures you dedicate time to both.
-Prioritize tasks: Determine which assignments or work tasks are most important and tackle them first. Break larger tasks into smaller steps to make them more manageable.
-Set realistic goals: Be honest about what you can achieve in the time you have. This prevents burnout and keeps you motivated.
-Communicate with your employer or professors: Let them know about your situation. Some may offer flexibility or support during busy periods.
-Use downtime effectively: Make the most of small pockets of free time, such as during your commute or lunch breaks, for reading or reviewing notes.
-Stay organized: Keep track of deadlines and tasks using a planner or digital tool, so nothing falls through the cracks.
By balancing your responsibilities, staying organized, and asking for help when needed, you can successfully manage both your work and studies. Hope this helps!

Jelian, time management is one of the most difficult things to get right. For so many reasons. You will have competing priorities. Others will judge you for how you decide to do this. You will have to make sacrifices. It won’t always be easy. But it’ll be worth it.
Here is what I recommend. Make a plan. This needs to be a daily plan, weekly, and monthly. Somethings you don’t need to do daily or weekly but you want to capture it anyway. This is your foundation of your non negotiables. These must happen. You normally wouldn’t include “scrolling tik tok for 2 hours” but we find ourselves doing it anyway. Then do your weekly, then your monthly.
My weekly has “work out 4 times” and “relax 2 evenings while watching TV”.
Then I go back to my daily and see where that fits in. I have 1 day of wiggle room for competing priorities.
Workout Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… but Thursday I got done early. Watch TV Thursday and Friday. Now I have Saturday and Sunday left. I accomplished my goal but was kind to my self and I have time now.
Multiply this principle with studying, work, chores, friends, all of that. Partying is never a non negotiable. Attending a birthday party might be. But that is on your monthly schedule for you to fit in.
So it becomes easier. It’ll be a rough start but you can get this done.
Then stick to the plan!!

Create a well-structured timetable for your work and studies, and adhere to it faithfully. Prioritize your education and seek employment that aligns with your academic schedule. Consider options like babysitting or pet sitting, which can be both flexible and rewarding.

Knowing your responsibilities from work and school is key to effectively setting up weekly time slots for yourself. Make room in your schedule for attending classes, fulfilling your job duties, doing homework, concentrating, and also for personal time - a period for engaging in your hobbies. By setting aside time for reflection and self-care, you'll improve your performance at school and work.
