Part 1: HOW DO YOU MANAGE AND BALANCE YOUR TIME BETWEEN SCHOOL AND
WORK?

Sometimes balancing between school and work can get hard when it comes to
getting enough sleep and getting my homework done. I have learned how to get my
homework done before I get off at 10:3o or later, normally I have an hour break so I
eat dinner while doing my homework and studying. Other than my homework and
sleeping I am doing ok with my grades and have learned how to better balance my
time.

Part 2: WHAT ISSUES HAVE YOU DEALT WITH THIS SEMESTER WHEN IT COMES TO
TIME MANAGEMENT?

One major issue I dealt with early in the semester was when I had a day off of work I wouldn’t
want to do my homework and I would just put it off and try not to worry about it. On days I
knew I had to study or get something that was done in a few days I would sleep rather than doing
the things I needed to do. Another issue I faced this semester was balancing my time with work,
school, and my family. I would notice I got caught up in everything else and would forget to
hang out with my family.
