If you really want to get better grades, then your academics need to be your top priority, and your boss and your gf need to not only understand, but also be big supporters of this. My brother always had a hard time in school, so he used his involvement in other things (sports, gf, etc) to be the motivators or rewards for doing well academically. For instance, if you study really hard for three hours, then you can reward yourself with an hour long workout. If you ace a test, then you can hang out with your gf Friday and Saturday instead of just one, then spend Sunday doing school work. You can also get her to help you with your studies. Studying with a group of people always worked really well for me. Talk to your boss to see if you can get off work earlier on Sunday and during the week to study, and actually use that time to STUDY! Most employers completely understand and even encourage putting school first. You never know unless you ask. It's a lot easier when the people around you are supporting you to help you reach your goals. You can say that you want to put your academics first, but unless you actually make a true effort to do so, it's just a waste.

No offense sweetie, but practicing your grammar is a good place to start. Your question is not even correct. If you really want good grades you have to study and do your homework. The gym is important but you could save $$ and time by exercising at home. The girlfriend is not so important unless she is willing to play a role in your aspirations and help by studying with you and not tempting you to blow off your school work. If you HAVE to work than do it as little as you can afford and or find a job that warrants some freedom to be able to do some reading or studying.
Good luck! and Best Wishes!

I worked, participated in several extracurricular activities and got good grades in high school-- and had boyfriends along the way. If you are determined and can follow a schedule you set up for yourself, you can do it. I studied before school and an hour or so before bed. I worked Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday night (until 10 pm) and so I had Saturday night and Sunday day to spend with my boyfriend and friends. Of course, extracurricular activities are usually after school and between the time you finish them and start to study (about 6-8 pm) then you can have free time to do what you want. It is all about setting a schedule that works for you and sticking to it (which takes maturity and discipline). Good Luck!

If you are below 18 Study should be your Top Most priority. Prepare a Time Table and allot 50 % or more time for studies, 30 -40 % for Job and balance you can allot for other activities. I think that should work and would help you in achieving better Gtades.

This would, of course, depend on your schedule, but I would suggest working out in the morning. Studies show that this improves metabolism and energy throughout the day. Also, it really wakes you up. Most important, though, is to set up a schedule and stick to it. Start out by prioritizing. What is most important to you? Stick to your schedule and only change it if it really isn't working. It takes 21 times of doing things (for most people) to make it a habit so don't deviate from your schedule during that crucial time period. Oh, and when you study, don't have distractions. Turn off the phone, etc. Good luck!

Education has got to be first since that will be the key for your career. Working out should be some what easy as you have total control on when to work out. Girlfriend needs to understand that you are going places and if she plans on going with you then she needs to have an attitude of helping you move in the direction you need to go for success. If she is hindering that, you need to let her go. The job is only a job for now to get you through this time frame that you are using to establish your career. It is important since we all need to have money. So I guess the order is school first, then job, but girlfriend and workout should be on the same level for now.

It depends what you are learning. Some subjects can be learned by using memory systems (languages, history, etc.); others by learning the processes (mathematics, chemistry). Gt a good book on memory, such as Tony Buzan and Edward De Bono. Then get enthusiastic about learning instead of working out. Girlfriend? Well, that's up to you

as odd at it sounds- the one way that mace a HUGE difference was to rewrite my notes at home after class. Not only rewriting sink it into my head a bit further, but my notebook was much more organized when it came to studying. I used one notebook for note taking them transcribed everything into the class note book that night. Also, only write on one side of the page. It may sound like a waste of paper, but again, it makes things easier to find and read.
By the time it came to study everything was already a bit familiar. Also, purchase a 3-hole puncher and keep things organized. you'll spend less time searching for things which, for me. always made me to frustrated to study anyhow. And DO NOT CRAM! It never works. pace yourself, eat healthy, keep yourself hydrated and of course make time to enjoy other things.....if you froce yourself to do just work and studying you may find yourself feeling over workered and/or isolated which can make one feel very unhappy.

You are trying to balance too much! Good luck, but my advise would be to quit the job, if you can.
