Use a planner! Write down everything you have to do and when you’re going to do it. Especially if you’re in classes that only have stuff due on Sundays, it’s important to pace yourself so you’re not driving yourself insane every Sunday night.

Find a good study space and find out what you need to do to learn best. For me that often meant *not* always doing all the readings because they’re dull, and spending more time on practice problems instead (ymmv obviously if you’re studying literature and not programming)

Also, a lot of professors talk slow. Watch on 1.5x speed and pause if you need more time.

I'm a senior and balance 30hrs of work plus raising a family. It's easy to feel overwhelmed very quickly with short classes if you don't practice time management. To get an A in a course they say you should alot 18 hours a week. I find that number is a little exaggerated but you certainly should spend at least 10 per class per week. Do 2 hrs a day and see if that makes it feel more manageable. If not maybe increase it to 2.5 hours. The weeks I feel most overwhelmed are the ones I save all my work for one or two crazy 8 hour homework sessions. Don't do that.

I work 38hrs and do 16credit hrs. Just staying consistent with how much you study each week and just stay on a rhythm. I pick a day I don’t have work or school so I can have a mental break and do things to take care of my well being. Took me a moment to find a groove.
