Master Your Time

Use tools like:

• Google Calendar – schedule classes, shifts, and breaks
• Notion or Trello – manage assignments and job tasks
• Pomodoro technique – for focused study sessions

Pro tip: Keep at least one day a week work-free to reset.

Prioritize Academics

Your degree is your long-term investment.

✅ Attend key lectures

✅ Avoid working late-night shifts before important classes

✅ Plan study time during low-workload days

Avoid Burnout

Balancing both worlds can be exhausting.

• Sleep 7–8 hours a night
• Eat balanced meals (not just caffeine and Maggi!)
• Say no when you’re stretched too thin

Pick the Right Job

Not all part-time jobs are created equal. Look for:

• Flexible shifts
• Remote work (freelancing, tutoring, content writing)
• On-campus roles (library, admin help, social media intern)
