How do I balance work and school?
Balancing work and school can be a difficult thing for some. A lot of college students are now working multiple jobs on top of going to school. This can be a recipe for disaster if you are not able to balance your time well. A good tool and resource that I use is time blocking, I block out specific times of the day to do different activities that way that I am never just sitting around. Reflect on how many hours per week you work and how many hours per week you study. If school is top priority then you will be studying more than working! If you have a part time job then it will be easier for you to balance the two out.
If time blocking isn’t something that you think will work for you then you can also try using a simple planner. By having your due dates and work schedule in one place it will be easier to keep track of the things you need to accomplish. If you still find difficulty in balancing work and school life then be sure to sign up for an appointment with an academic coach or a peer mentor to discuss ways of bettering your learning!
Thats all Monarchs I hope you take this knowledge and use it well!
