How do you balance homework with all the other things you are doing, exercise, sleeping and socializing for example?

For starters, start by setting up a schedule/daily timetable. To reinforce the schedule, reward yourself for every time you follow through with it. However, remember that sometimes, changes are needed. So don't be afraid to adjust your schedule accordingly to fulfil your needs.

Make a schedule for homework. For example Monday through Friday and x time is homework time and stick to it.

Hmm. The key is to manage your time. Set a respective time for homework - and make it a habit. For instance, even if there are not homeworks or any projects to be submitted it helps your memory (especially the long-term aspect) to study in small chunks. Read and study in advance if you can. Take good notes and read them before class. For other activities, the same applies: create a habit. Start slowly. Baby steps. For example: one hour of study then right after you can exercise. As a prize, you can use the remaining time to socialize or do what you love.

glad you asked the question. for many of us yes, balancing is difficult, sometimes we might need to do all-nighters or be lazy the entire day. It's okay to have those days once in few months. Having a regular schedule can help and always try to keep a target of how much time and portions you are going to study, how much time to sleep, exercise , etc.Also don't be too hard on yourself , self-care is important as well. Having fixed boundaries can help and don't forget to enjoy and have fun in what you do :) Hope it helps. thanks for reading

Currently, I am doing 26 units/credits in college and I am managing my time really well. Maybe that is because I came from a high school that was very rigorous or maybe it is just my ability to time manage. But, I tend to balance everything but planning out my week in advance and having a giant monthly calendar showing me when something is due or when something is coming up. I like to plan accordingly to give myself time to relax and unwind from time to time again. Self care is highly important and as listeners, we put ourselves in difficult situations at times and we need to learn to take care of ourselves too.

Use google calendar or a printed calendar with a lot of color coded events. Space out your homework in parts throughout the day so you can accomplish it without feeling bored or exhausted. Also, prioritize! Use color coding (sticky notes/different highlighters) to identify hierarchy of importance of the tasks you need to get done.

Try and organise your days, writing a list or a schedule to help you fit everything in, somedays other things may have to be sacrificed

Hi, I relate very strong with this question. I am a young carer, dancer, am in my senior year and had to deal with these things myself. First, I would create a schedule of my average week of things that would happen consistently, like school and dance class times. Then i'd schedule in times between them when I could fit in study times and do it subject by subject, giving more time to the ones that need work or that I need more time for. I'd also make sure to give little breaks between the things in my schedule to make sure I don't get burnt out and give time at least twice a week to have a break from everything, which I could use to socialise or swap out one of the other things. I'd make sure to leave time on it for sleep, food times and breaks if I needed them. I hope this helps

By creating a specific time for studies . It should be a continuous and uninterrupted few hours each day . For example , waking up early and getting on with exercise . Always refreshing . Then book a time for studies , depending on the workload . The rest of the time is for enjoying , measure , socialising . The key , however is not to extend your bedtime . That would affect the next day and cause stress . If you have a fixed schedule it helps to relieve the stress of "i am missing out something , I have this left , I have to do that " because you will know that you have planned time for everything . Planning is best done the night before . It gives a peaceful sleep .

You can balance your homework with exercise, sleeping and socializing by setting up a timetable. Or you can also set reminders wherein you put yourself a prompt to complete a particular activity at a specified time limit. The reminders can be in any form, for example, alarm, sticky notes or writing up in the calender about the due dates which can be attached to the wall right infront of where you study in a way you can see that. Some people also get started with their homework as soon as they come home so that they can prioritize other activities later. Any of the way mentioned above is good enough as long as it fits you.

Setting schedules can really help. That way, you only spend a certain about of time working and you have a good balance. Try not to procrastinate when working and remove all distractions. Set yourself a target of how long each piece of work will take and follow it. Having a daily routine for exercise helps because daily exercise is important and how much exercise you choose to do is up to you. Try not to sleep in too much in the mornings because mornings are a good time to be productive. I like to try and do as much of my work in the morning as I can so in the afternoons I don’t have to worry about that

I think the most important thing is to create a schedule and fully commit to each activity in its allotted time. It's such an easy concept but takes a big commitment. It also takes practice in turning off the endless questioning in your mind that makes you second guess what you're doing. Exercise and sleep both require routine - same time, every day. Once you get on that schedule, everything else will flow naturally. Homework takes discipline - start with chunks of time and reward yourself when you complete a given module. Socializing can actually be a good reward, if in fact it's rewarding for you. Be sure to celebrate moments of success with things that incentivize you to keep up the good work.

I personally love to make a schedule for myself and write down all the events that are coming up and what times and days I have them on, this way I can easily keep track of what's happening on which day and when I should go to sleep, exercise, do homework, make dinner and socialise.

Homework takes a lot of time and energy to complete, particularly the higher up in education we go. Much like a job we would go to for set hours, study time can be scheduled as well and be held as just as important. Getting up to move around at least every 45 minutes can reduce the intensity of the study because it gives our minds a break and gives us time to get a drink, run to the restroom, grab a snack, or even take time to give attention to your pet. Having a list of what you need to do readily available that you can cross off would be helpful, or even a time schedule of all the events you do over the 24 hour day. These are just a couple thoughts that have worked for me during college, work and volunteer time.

I love making sure my diary is well ordered and layer out. I make sure that I put in all my appointments and schedules including how long I plan to study, workout or take time off. Although life gets a bit hectic and you do need a day off every now and again, by sticking to a schedule, I find that I stay more focused and don't procrastinate as much.

Create a schedule for everything and stick to it. So that you will have the time for all the things that you need to do.

While completing homework is definitely a priority for me, other things, such as exercise, sleeping, and socializing are just as important. I make sure to give myself adequate time to finish whatever assignments I have (this means trying hard not to procrastinate!) so that I can enjoy socializing with friends or other activities that I like doing. I try to use those other activities as an incentive to get my work done. For example: Have I completed what I needed to today? If so, then I can go to the movies tonight. If not, then I haven't earned that free time. However, health above all else. Regardless of how much work I still have yet to finish, getting enough sleep and exercise is of utmost importance. Brains don't typically function well otherwise. So sometimes, sleeping early even if I still have work to do, is a lot more productive than staying up late to finish and can often provide me with new perspective and renewed energy in the morning.

Make a schedule and schedule everything out, set aside time for each activity that is important to you. You may not have time for everything everyday, but write out yiur week so you can look forward to activities.

The best thing in this case is: planning properly. You can set yourself an agenda to be able to know what times you assign yourself for everything.

By trying to plan ahead. Mayby try buying a planner or a callendar. Make it a fun experience and something to look forward to. You can do it! ;)

I try to make homework a priority which means that it is the first thing I do when I get home. If it is a bigger piece of work, I usually save it until I have more time. Even though socializing is a big part of human's life, I put it a little aside when I have too much school work and keep it for when I'm at school or another activity!

I struggle with this from time to time. For me, it is a matter of making myself a schedule. I have found that having it written down and keeping notifications in my phone are very helpful for me.

Balancing things is difficult especially when you have lots of thing to do. i create my time table, after my work i find time to reach old friend and my office mates then the next day i set time to study.i also spend time 15 to 30 mins of working out or walking and during Sundays I sleep a lot .

It's a tricky thing to do, that's for sure! Aside from skipping out on sleep, I always try to make time each day to do a little bit of all of those things. It helps to prioritize as well; what is the most important thing in this moment, right now? Can the homework wait while I go running for a while? It may help to explain your busy schedule with your friends, whom should be understanding of your needs.

balancing schoolwork with all the other important things in your life is one of that hardest task students face - it's important to understand that social, personal, and academic growth are all very important during this time (which i'm sure feels to most more like a pressure than an aid) which is why it is important to learn to balance and keep each one in check, as to not overwhelm the others. making a schedule for the day can prevent you from both overworking and procrastinating; some people set times of the day to start certain tasks, others make checklists for the entirety of the day to tick off like a grocery list - choose a method that works for you :>
