I work full-time, attend college classes full-time and have a part time internship. ->It's a pretty hectic schedule, so I was wondering if anyone can offer a few simple pointers or suggestions how I can stay organized and stay ahead of the game? <-This particular semester isn't neccessarily difficult, but there is a lot of work involved, with many assignments. I'm more concerned about keeping organized with my schoolwork without getting stressed out.
->Is anyone else carrying the same kind of schedule? How do you cope without going insane?<-

You sound like me when I was in graduate school. As odd as this sounds, the best thing you can do for yourself is plan a day, once a week, were you don't do anything related to work, school or the internship. For me that was a day for watching football, going out with friends, going skydiving or just sitting around and doing nothing. This let me recharge and get ready for the next week. I would say that you should always spend time just finding what is the most important thing to get done at anyone time and focus on that. It is better to get one task done and out of the way than to do little pieces of a dozen different projects. The most important thing is to still take time for yourself, even if that means something is done late, or not done at all. It will make a huge difference in reducing stress and making everything else better. Good luck!

Full time school, full time job AND an internship? Wow -- that is a lot.
I would start by scheduling everything. Plan extra time for homework so that when you have tests and the like, you have time to study.
If you have access to Outlook or other calendaring software, you can schedule whole days -- this will keep you organized. As soon as you know test schedules, schedule additional studying before, and a "fun time" after as a reward -- you will stay less stressed knowing that you have something fun coming up. Make sure to use the "alarm" features, so you will be reminded when the important things come up.
Write everything down that relates to your schedule, and keep it in the same place. This is really important now when you have the time, so you have the good habit to help later on.
Keep a journal of what you do each day. Spend 10 minutes writing in it. This will help refresh your memory when you forget things, as well as giving you a cool down time at the end of the day.
Don't forget to plan time for you. Take a weekend off from everything, here and there. Relaxing and resting is important to your well being.
Also, don't study for more than 90 minutes without a break -- you stop learning after 90 minutes.

I did the same thing last year and the only way to manage is to start your assignments immediately after you get them and don't put anything off, it will pile up very fast if you do. You probably won't have alot of time to go out with friends. But make sure you get all you work done before you do.
I highly recommend reading ahead in classes that you have books for. Keep yourself a good chapter or two ahead of schedule, that way your brain doesn't have to work so hard in class because the information will be familiar....besides that you'll impress your teacher when you know the answer to all the questions...lol. Hope that helps!

I don't know how you pull that off, so first off I have to say good luck.
Sounds like every day has quite a bit of activity. My only suggestion then, since I don't know your specific situation too well, is to not go home until your stuff is done. After doing so much every day, going home will be like a relief and you might not want to do homework. Find a spot in the library or a coffee shop to get in an acceptable amount of time for studies each day. Don't go home until you're done and can therefore truly relax.
