As an non-traditional undergrad, I find myself juggling work, school, and the extra-curricular projects that sometimes see necessary to further both. <br /><br />Here's a couple of additional things I've added to my list that help:<br /><br />* Adding friends to speed dial who can rescue the kid if I've got a meeting/appt/lab<br /><br />* Letting calls go to voice mail so I can focus and get stuff done. (Folks know I'm busy but will get back to 'em when I can.)<br /><br />* Spoiling my SO once in awhile so there's some balance on the home front.<br /><br />* Going some place different to study once in awhile so I can focus without the usual household distractions<br /><br />Just a few things that have helped me get through the last year! (One more to go!)<br /><br />Thanks for posting such helpful information!<br /><br />-- ubergeekeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685339138471215226noreply@blogger.com
