“The perfect woman, you see, is a working woman; not an idle, not a fine lady, but one who uses her hands and her head and her heart for the good.” – Thomas Hardy

Are you considering starting post-graduate studies such as an MBA (Masters of Business Administration), or are you perhaps studying while holding down a full-time job? One of the questions that prospective students and career women currently studying ask on a regular basis is: will I be able to manage my job and my studies? The simple answer is Yes.

Furthermore, thousands of students have proven, and continue to show that working and studying is possible, even manageable. Ergo, here are several tips to help you manage your work and study activities without too much effort:

 Proper planning

Time management is one the key aspects of working and studying at the same time. Therefore, it’s important to plan your studies right down to the smallest detail. Add your exam dates, assignment due dates, and any other important dates to a calendar. The next step is to plan your monthly, weekly, and daily study activities so that you can meet these deadlines without too much effort. If you understand what you need to do, then half the battle has already been won.

 Ask for help before you need it

Remember that studying alone is more challenging than studying together with other students. Even if you are studying through a distance-learning institution, it is wise to join one or more study groups. The current mobile technology makes it very easy for students to chat over the available messaging services. Furthermore, contract an urgent essay writing service to help you finalise your essays before the submission date. The academic writers who work for an essay writing service are well versed in the structure of and standards required for a university essay.

 Take regular breaks

It is impossible to work and study for long hours every day without taking a break. It is easy to become exhausted and demotivated while you are studying and working. The fact of the matter is that there is a limit to how long you can concentrate for and how much your brain can absorb at any one time. Even if you only take a 30-minute break during the day to relax and disconnect from your daily routine, you will find that you will be full of energy and ready to start working or studying again.

 Prioritise your time

Making a list of your daily tasks to determine what is essential and what is not, is an important life skill. You won’t fit in your studies, work, and leisure time if you do not adjust to a new work, study routine.

 Final words

There is no doubt that working and studying simultaneously will take up a lot of your energy and time. However, the end result is worth the hard work. To help you balance your work with your studies, it’s important to manage your time efficiently, take regular breaks, ask for help when you need it, as well as
