Studying while keeping up on the career front might not be the easiest thing to do, but with the right focus and determination you could easily find yourself reaching your goals.
The up side about studying when you are employed is that some companies pay for their employees to study.
This takes a load off when it comes to paying your fees and means you don’t have to take out a student loan.
Doing both all comes down to simple time management.
Here are few tips that can help you find balance between the two:
Manage you time
Keep a diary or weekly calendar that dedicates a few hours a day to your studying.Try to always put your books at the top of your to do list and see all your other activities as a reward.
Stay Motivated
Keep yourself in an empowered state of mind by having group discussions with your classmates and always keeping in contact with them for updates.
Talk about your school work and the things that you are learning with friends and family, as they can also help keep you on the right track.
Study Leave
Let your employer know about your plans to further your studies. Communicating this with them will make them more understanding when you need to take days off to hit the books. Some might even allow you to take a paid study leave during exam times.
Create a study space
Having a space dedicated only to your studying, will help you focus on just that. Being in a comfort space like the living room can make it easy for you to get distracted.
If you struggle to find a room that you can study in rather leave the house and find a library or coffee shop that you can study at.
Take time to chill
Always take time out of your busy school/work schedules to relax and get some down time. Overworking yourself can put you under pressure which will cause you unnecessary stress.
