Time Management?

Question

I don't know how to manage my time effectively?! I work full time, i have a 9 month old baby, i am doing postgraduate studies. My husband is working full time as well and doing his own studies. I don't find time to study, or to do the things I love, like reading or painting. I can only do some studying when my baby is asleep by 9 but then I would be so exhausted!! Please give me some good tips on how to manage my time better.

Answer 1

hire a sitter, someone in the neighborhood to watch your baby while you are their so you can have some time to yourself and not be to far away to worry. Im sure if you have made it to this far in your studies you are not that poor at time management.

Answer 2

You are in a difficult situation. Just having a nine month old baby is a full time job, let alone doing post graduate studies and even a full time job.

I've taken many time management courses, but I really learned how to manage time, when I became a restaurant manager. Especially when I had people call out sick, and had to fill their places while trying to get someone else in.

I suspect you are exhausted, but I can't see how you can manage your time better, unless you get a live in nanny.

hang in there.

Answer 3

You've got a lot on your plate! I think you need to decide which is the most important thing in your life now and focus on that. Getting help for your baby is a great idea but your baby is also at the stage when she needs you most. Are you able to work part-time instead? Do things bit by bit.

Answer 4

Try studying during your lunch break at work.

Answer 5

Become single with no kids and no pets, like me. I can do whatever I want on weeknights and weekends. It's great !
