You've found a great opportunity: you're able to work and go to school at the same time to earn a degree or take courses for personal interest. But once you've started, you can't seem to find time to fit everything in. Here are some guidelines for working students who can't seem to find enough time in a day.

STEPS
1. Be Organized Keep your school materials organized and in one place so that it would be easy to find them. Mark upcoming deadlines on your calendar and start school projects early to allow sufficient time to complete them in case other things come up in the meantime. If you're taking several courses at once, don't spend all of your time on one course while other deadlines begin to loom on the horizon.
2. CREAT A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE Some parts of your schedule are going to be inflexible, such as class times and work days. Fit homework and studying in when you're either not in class or not at the office. Build a routine that you can stick to but are able to adjust if other important things come up. As a working student, you have to be ready to adapt to new assignments, unexpected errands, and sudden work crises that need to be addressed immediately. if something comes up, you can shift it into another slot during the week.
3. COMMUNCICATE your schedule to your employers, friends, clients and family. Make sure the people around you know where you'll be and when. Sign up for an online calendar and send the URL to the people who depend on knowing where you are and when. Not everyone you work with will understand the demands of being a student and, similarly, not all of your classmates will understand the additional responsibilities of working while in school.
4. MANAGE STRESS Stress is an inevitable part of being a student and a worker -- combine both together and you can expect to be stressed out. As much as you may try to prevent stress, you're going to have to learn how to relieve it as well.

  • Take those much-needed breaks. Give yourself time to collect yourself when you need it the most, so you can re-approach things with a clear head.
  •  Lift. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps relieve stress and you'll find that the more you get out and exercise, the easier work and school will seem. Exercising is commonly known to reduce stress.
  • Live. Don't forget to enjoy life. Don't get bogged down by nuisances of the demands of your academic and professional life. Take time to experience the world around you and appreciate your relationships in life. See books, watch sports. Don't forget to squeeze in the things that make life worth living into your schedule

5. BE REALISTIC There may not be enough time for everything, so get your priorities straight and don't beat yourself up if you don't accomplish every single task you've set out to do on a given day. you have the opportunity to make a living and get an education -- two things many people in the world go without.
6. REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE DOING
7. KNOW THAT IT CAN BE DONE
