Balancing
High School and Part-Time Wok Part 5
Additional Tips
Although
working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if
you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make
the most of your time:
· Discuss your plans with family. Balancing the demands of school
and work is easier with their support.
· Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours
immediately.
· Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules
as far ahead of time as possible.
· Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a
line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of
downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do
schoolwork.
· If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your
schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.
· Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut
down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.
· If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as
needed.
· Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay
happy and healthy.
