Use the 80/20 rule: focus on the 20% of tasks that give 80% of your grades (key assignments, exams, major projects) and don’t stress perfection on everything else. Limit part‑time hours to what you can realistically handle (often 10–15 hours/week) and communicate with employers if exams are coming up. Join 1–2 clubs max so you get social energy without extra pressure.
Hey Sarah, Start by blocking fixed commitments (classes, work shifts, sleep) in a weekly calendar, then assign study blocks around them instead of “whenever free.” Aim for consistent, shorter study sessions rather than all‑nighters. Protect at least one evening a week for rest or socializing so you don’t burn out; over‑scheduling is the main reason students crash mid‑semester.
