Working while studying !? How to reach a balance !?
Last week, I had busy hours that I had to prioritize to reach three important items on a daily basis. It was hard and complicated, but these were not my first busy days.
The following tips will help me manage my time and activities. I found these in various books, college courses, and routine life. If you like to use them, maybe you will succeed.
1. Choosing the right university
You can take a big step in your field of specialization if you choose the right university with the right field of study where you can spend your free time studying. In this way, studying does not take much time for you to reach other activities. Try to consider important factors such as distance, the field of study, university type, etc.
If you work part-time, you will spend more time studying, but if you are full-time, you have to bring the dead times to live and use them. early morning, evening, late-night, and holidays.
And many top universities also help students find suitable part-time jobs.
Of course, this is for friends who want to specialize and have special activities in addition to studying in the field they are interested in, not friends who chose to study for another purpose.
2. Prioritization
One of the most important steps is prioritization. Do you need to know if your degree is important for your future or the activity you do ?!
If you are going to be in the middle then you have to go through the first step.
But if the degree you are going to get is just “getting a degree” then spend most of your time in your job to ensure your success because specialization always speaks for itself.
If the education, degree, and rank of the university you are in is very important to you and you are thinking about scholarships in this way or you want to progress in these fields, then spend most of your time at the university, which is how you planned your future. And good luck.
3. Create a Timeline
If you have the condition * from the second point, then to start your week, make a TODO list, do your homework, and try to spend some time for them daily. Do not let homework and university projects accumulate at the end of the semester and you can not afford them.
Create a study plan for yourself that regulates your professional life, education, and personal life. You can prepare a checklist (different platforms or calendars, boards, and paper) and use it to manage your time.
The point is, if you are living with a family, let them know what you are planning. This way they can prevent you from scheduling tasks that are not in your time slot.
4. Use your education in a job or vice versa
When your field of study is related to your job, you can easily establish a useful interaction between them. Use the tips and lessons you may learn from your education in your job.
Also, if you have learned something from your job, make the most of it in presenting projects and homework. You will have a high chance.
5. Inform your friends and colleagues about your educational planning
It is important to keep your managers informed as well. For example, if you have exams ahead of you, you may need to take time off. Make sure your principal is notified in a timely manner. Similarly, if you have to miss a college class for your job, let your professors know in advance.
6. Find or provide a place to work
Part of having an efficient study and work routine requires you to have a specific place or places to go to get things done. This can be a special corner in the house, a study desk, or a working studio. It can even be weird places like the attic, or the nearest coffee shop. Avoid distractions such as TVs, loud noises, etc. If you read more or work with music, try choosing non-text music for better focus.
7. Take notes
This is a habit that will help you in your work and study program. When your manager gives you a task, write it down quickly to make sure you don’t forget. Likewise, write good notes in class. We do not have to literally write everything down. Just make sure you write down the most important points presented in class. Your notes should be such that you can take full advantage of them later.
8. Taking care of physical and mental health
An important factor in the success of the balance between your work and education is your health. Find a balance that also gives you enough time to stay healthy. Exercise is part of your routine, even if it is only 30 minutes. Get enough rest and make sure you get at least seven to eight hours of sleep a day.
Make sure you eat the right meals every day. Eating Fast-Food may seem like the fastest option, but it is actually completely unhealthy. Instead of heading to fast food chains, head to a restaurant or cafe for a ready-made salad. Not only will this be a healthy food for you, but it will also act as an energy booster if needed.
9. You tell …
last word:
A successful work-study balance may seem daunting at first, but if you plan it well, you can easily manage it. Consider the above points and I hope that you will always continue your activities energetically.
