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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 .

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

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.
