PART 5

ADDITIONAL TIPS

ALTHOUGH WORKING AND GOING TO SCHOOLS IS CHALLENGING, IT CAN BE A REWARDING EXPERIENCE IF YOU USE SOME FORESIGHT. THESE TIPS CAN HELP YOU HANDLE THE SITUATION AND MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME:

·         DISCUSS YOUR PLANS WITH YOUR FAMILY. BALANCING THE DEMANDS OF SCHOOL AND WORK IS EASIER WITH THEIR SUPPORT.

·         START SLOWLY DON’T COMMIT TO WORK A LOT OF HOURS IMMEDIATELY.

·         AVOID TIME CONFLICTS BY PLANNING YOUR CLASS AND WORK SCHEDULES AS FAR AHEAD OF TIME AS POSSIBLE.

·         USE YOUR TIME EFFICIENTLY. YOU CAN USE 10 MINUTES WAITING IN ALINE TO GO OVER FEW PAGES OF ASSIGNED READING. IF YOUR JOB HAS A LOT OF DOWNTIME AND YOUR BOSS HAS NO OBJECTION, YOU CAN USE SLOW PERIODS TO DO SCHOOLWORK.

·         IF YOU COMMUTE TO YOUR JOB ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, BRING YOUR SCHOOLWORK WITH YOU SO YOU CAN WORK ALONG THE WAY.

·         BE FLEXIBLE AND WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES. YOU MAY HAVE TO CUT DOWN ON SOME OTHER THINGS YOU’D LIKE TO DO BECAUSE OF YOUR SCHOOLWORK AND COMMITMENTS.

·         IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE, ADMIT IT. THEN CUT BACK AS NEEDED. SCHEDULE RELAXATION TIME. EVERYONE NEEDS SOME DOWNTIME TO STAY HAPPILY AND HEALTHY.
