I did that... and I survived. I made a list of things that I had to do. I spent every free minute doing assignments until they were finished. I took school work to my job and worked on it during breaks. If I had a break at school I took my work to the library. I did as much as I could on the weekend.
House work may have to take a break. My husband began to do the laundry for me. There was just no way to do it all and still get good grades. I had to work so I made the best of it by doing what I could while I was there.
It will be hard but it will be worth it. You can do it! Hang in there!
And once in a while just take an hour and do something for yourself. It helps keep you sane!

It's really a matter of prioritizing. I'm in the same boat-what works for me is to make a list every day of things I need to do and then figure out what needs to be done first, second, etc.. -and what can wait until tomorrow. Sometimes you can do a few things at once-and sometimes you can think about and plan things out in your head while you're doing something else-like when you're doing dishes, you can be thinking about how you want to do a school project or planning out in your head how long you think it will take and what you need to get accomplished before the end of the day. In my humble opinion, it's best in times like these to set aside a little extra money for take out and what not so you don't have to spend time cooking and doing as many dishes. But that's just me! Good luck and every once in a while take a break and a few deep breaths-you'll get through it!

Just get organized. Write a list of household chores to do each day so that your major housework is done once a week or so. When you cook, cook twice as much and freeze half. This will save you time when you have a large project or big test coming up.

Study every night, whether you need to or not. I did this with my harder classes like Chemistry. I re-wrote the notes each day into a readable format to make sure I understood them. Then the day before a test, I rewrote all of the notes from that unit. It worked like a charm and I rarely had to "cram."

Make an organized list of the steps you need to take on a homework project--like a paper and give yourself deadlines. That way you aren't throwing together a project at the last minute.

For any class that I was really worried about like my insane upper-division math classes, I wrote out notecards with important concepts on them and used them like falshcards. I took them to work with me and looked at them periodically.

make a schedule and prioritize...my wife and i both did it. sometimes though, school was put last because the house was HORRIBLE looking and i couldn't call off of work and some times i would go into work being tired as s**t because of staying up all night doing homework. it's definately a juggling match between them all...but just stay organized and create a schedule. multi-tasking is a definate plus too if possible

Make yourself a schedule. Oh and use a timer too to remain on schedule. If you have to clean your kitchen after dinner, put your timer on for 10 minutes and you should be done. Need to work on your schoolwork for an hour, use the timer, and don't forget to schedule in some much needed breaks. I use my timer for everything from roasting chicken in the oven, to cleaning out the bathroom to washing the floors. The chore gets done, and you have more free time for other things in your life.

Best of luck.

Schedule. It's the only thing that helped. I managed a 40 hour job, full time school, house work and being a single parent. Trust me. Only a scheule will help!!

Well, I've done it, and this is how it went:

College work came FIRST, because that was associated with my future.

Work came second, because that was associated with eating food instead of dumpster diving.

Housework came dead last, and never seemed to even get addressed, much less done. I had a lovely neighbor downstairs who would come up, gather up my dirty clothes, wash, dry, iron, fold and put them away for me, and she always was watching in her window to see if I wanted to stop in and have dinner or a nice snack.

Find a neighbor like that.
