Juggling work and studies at the same time can be very stressful as both these activities require you to be mentally and physically present.
Going back to studying while working may not guarantee you a better job, but it can better your chances of getting one. While physically going to campus might prove difficult for some working individuals, the option of studying online which saw more popularity after the arrival of Covid-19 is an option that works for some people.
Juggling work and studies may sound like a lot of work, but it is doable. Many graduates have proven that it can be done. The trick is knowing how to find a balance between both work and studies, shares recruitment site Indeed.
Let us take a look at three tips on juggling work and studies offered by the above-mentioned recruitment hub.
Plan your work and study time
Planning your time wisely will do wonders for you, adds the recruitment hub. This can be done by aligning your modules to take place on the same days (if possible) as this will limit time spent going into and out of campus. Using free time in between classes for studies also lessens up the burden of having to get home and be stuck in studies when you could be resting or using your time for other things, adds the above-mentioned recruitment hub.
Eliminate Distractions
Indeed suggests that you try to make sure that nothing distracts the time meant for your studies as being behind schedule might end up frustrating you. Noisy surroundings may be a distraction, adds the recruitment hub.
Take Breaks
Breaks in-between studies are important says the recruitment hub as they help you avoid burnout. Walks may be beneficial for good rests too if used as rests.
