I haven’t had to do all these things at once but I just want to say, the fact that you are doing this is amazing! I can’t imagine how hard it is, but you are awesome! And also so brave and strong for taking all this on. Hang in there❤️

Answer

I go to college, but I work from home and have a little baby girl. Planning is key, even if doesn’t go as planned one day, it’s less chaotic because you’re prepared. I use online and a paper calendar and write every detail down. I record all of my lectures. Also always try to get material ahead of time from professors and be pushy about it because you’re paying for the education. For me, cramming classes into one time slot so I have the rest of the day to study/ social life is the goal. I know how hard it is, I use to work 3 jobs and 25 credits with biochemistry.

Answer

I don’t know how I do it, I just do honestly. I’ve always had good time management skills though and am pretty organized. I think it’s important to set a schedule of “work time”, “school time”, “me time”, “family time”, “workout time” and so on for whatever fits your needs and wants. (And try to be spontaneous sometimes so you don’t feel stuck in the same cycle.) My calendar is always so full, but I write everything down. My husband works full-time and I work about 30 hours a week and am a full-time college student (in a masters program). I think my life is well balanced and I’m happy with it, but of course I wish I didn’t have to worry about working or going to school. He has a pretty good work schedule, so I think that helps. We also stay up late, so we talk all night if we didn’t get to really hang out during the day. Sometimes that bites me in the ass though, cause I wake up pretty early and really need a good nights’ sleep. I don’t know if maybe I’m just used to the busy schedule and doing so much all the time, but we always find ways to spend time with each other and our family and friends.
