Balancing Work and School

Balancing work and school can be a challenge even for the best of students. A lot of modern day students have to balance a full time school schedule as well as a part time or even full time job. Working through school is a requirement for a lot of students because the cost of living as well as the cost of school has increased dramatically while minimum wage has barely increased at all!

One of the most effective ways to manage this insane schedule is to in face make a schedule. This may sound like common sense but actually blocking out your days divided by class, work and necessary study time as well as other commitments like grocery shopping, family and friend time you can really find a way to break down your day and maximize your time. My favorite tool for this kind of schedule is google calendar. Google calendar allows you to schedule your day and even color coordinate appointments. The use of the cloud system also allows you to access your calendar on any device!
