Learn some useful tips to help you organize the two areas of your life without major conflicts.

Although it is very common to find college students looking for a job or a part-time job, some high school students are already in the job market. However, this should not be a reason to neglect the studies. If you are having difficulty reconciling all these tasks, learn to plan your studies considering the obligations to the job:

1.) PLAN DETAILLY
If, when you were just a student, you needed planning, now that you have a job, that is even more necessary. Be specific about all the tasks you have at hand and stay true to your schedule. Mark periods for school, work, and schooling proper. Also include leisure time where you can have fun in the way you like. Your brain still needs a period of inactivity and after so much effort, you deserve it.

2.) DO NOT COMMIT TOO MUCH
Do not take on more tasks than you can actually accomplish, both at work and in your academic life. Remember that when you commit to a job, you must give yourself up to achieve the best possible performance without neglecting your studies. If you feel you can not lead a project at work or college, refuse it.

3.) TEST THE MORNING PERIOD FOR WORK FROM HOME
Consider the morning to study and do homework. You may find that it will be unproductive to wake up an hour early for this, but many people do their homework better in the morning. Take a test for a week. If it does not fit, try to find another more productive period.
