It's been a while since my last post. This is because my brain was on buffer :). I could not think of anything to write.Working and studying is no easy thing and many times you can't seem to fit everything in your schedule. Well, if this is you and you are having a little difficulty in balancing your life, hopefully this might offer some insight that may help you achieve this balance. Like you, I was going through the same thing.
I remember going to one of my lecturers and telling her that this programme is taking sooooo long. One of the things she said to me was quality is better than quantity. I know we set a time frame to complete our programmes, however sometimes it is better to take our time so we can graduate with a great GPA. I also discovered some great tips that can help us keep balanced so we do not get burnt out or despondent on the journey.
One very important thing is organizing. It is very important to keep things organized especially when it comes to assignments. Sometimes I tend to procrastinate and find myself rushing to do three or more different assignments that is due on the same day. I have found that if I do a time table and start my assignments early I would not feel frazzled and rushed to get them done on time.
Another thing you can do is take time out. Working and studying is not easy so you would feel stressed. It is important to take a little time away to help you relax. Some things can be helpful are excercising, going to the beach or just hanging out with friends. These can help to rejuvenate you, so you can get back your focus.
Do not take on more than you can handle. For me am involved in varies charities, so there are times when I fee so overwhelmed that I had to put some on hold. We would like to think of ourselves as superhuman but we are not. The reality is we can only do so much. So do what you can with the best of your ability.
Also when you start to feel demotivated, remind yourself as to why you are pursuing the particular course of study. This will help to motivate you because it is a goal that you want to achieve. So thinking about the why will help you get back your focus.
Remember believe in yourself. Believe you can do it. Everyone who is successful had to work very hard as well and if they can do it. You can as well (we :) )
