I have just got a new job which I will do while i am studying for an architecture degree at university. I have agreed to do 15 hours a week working, but the architecture course is full time. Im planning on attending university lectures and then do studying in the evenings as the hours for my new job must be between 9-5 ( and not weekends) But aswell as this I have to run a home, and help my boyfriend with his business, and tips on organising my time would be much appreciated!

Perhaps a change in outlook will help. It did for me:
Time can't be managed. When I say that I mean, that there are 24 hours in a day and no matter what you do that is not going to change.
What you can manage is the work allocation for that time. Plan beforehand and stick to your plans. It is more of a mental exercise really (like the stock markets) and the more you stick to your plans the better you get at it. Don't feel guilty about rescheduling, just get on with it.
So
1. Write down daily tasks
2. PRIORITIZE
3. Cut off tasks as they get done (don't erase)
4. Don't laze
5. End of day review
(I got thru college this way)

I think your boyfriend needs to understand that you might not be able to help him all the time as what you are doing is for both your futures.
You sound like you have a lot on your plate and need to sit down with him and make a schedule that will be fair. He might have to help you with the running of the home too. 15 hours is a lot in a week when you are studying full time. I think what you should do is maybe do 3 five hour days rather than 5 three hour days. You at least get a break from the job and time to concetrate on your studies and other responsibilities. Good luck.

Dump your boyfreind, only joking. Have a timetable making sure that you choose the times that you study best. Tell your boyfriend to get an assistant as you are too busy and studies come first. Clean the house before work so that when you get home you can have a quick snack and start studing straight away, take regular breaks which will help you absorb more info. Take a dictation machine to lesson so you cah listen to the lecture at home again just in case you missed anything due to been so tired from the heavy work load. Also study with a friend helps just in case you misunderstand something. Good Luck

You have already had some good advice, but have you considered that the important and unnegotiable tasks are in the same time limit, ie, between 9-5 weekdays. Your boyfriend will have to sort out his own business with less help from you, household chores can usually be fitted in anytime but uni and work are fixed. Obviously uni is the most important aspect and so I would advise you to seriously consider looking for another job which will fit in with you lifestyle and not rule it - if anything suffers it will be your studying.I speak as someone who did exactly what you are doing - OK, I managed but as soon as I finished and the stress of coping with the additional workload disappeared, my body went into meltdown and I was off work for two horrendous months and a further two years before I was totally fit agin! Remember, money is not the be all and end all.
Good luck with your studying, hope you do find another job.

Plan as much as possible, and try to combine tasks as much as possible. Use time management software or an organizer or both - whatever works for you. Be sure to take breaks now and then or you may burn out. Look at it as a challenge to be conquered (and something to be proud of when you do) and not a hassle that you have to deal with. Good luck and success!
