•There are three main parts of a student’s
life which consumes most of their time:
Study
Work
Personal life.
Study and work both can take up an ample amount
of time and very less time may remain for personal
stuff. This is one of the major issues a student
faces. So the question is: How to balance study,
work, and personal life?

Part Time Vs Full Time Students
The workload of a full time student can of
course be very different compared to the
workload of a part time student.
For a full time student, there is very less time
left for work or personal life. So proper time
management is very important.
However, for a part time student, there may
be a lot of time left after studies for work and
other personal stuff. Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

Part Time Vs Full Time Students
Being fulltime student
your full concentration
will be on study and
personal life as study is
your work

Study Load
8 semesters
5-6 courses per semester
Each semester 5-6 months
Additional courses in case
one fails

Steps to balance Study-
Personal Life
A student's life is busy. Managing
study, part time work and
personal life can be hard.
It can be made easy and balance
study, work, and personal life by
following few steps. Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

1-Do Not Procrastinate
Delaying things may lead to piling
of more and more work in the end.
Another disadvantage of
procrastination is that it only keeps
adding more stress at the top of daily
work load. Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

2-Consider Having A Day Off
Once, I was a student; today I have founded my
own Businesses, so things are much busier now than ever. But I
still try to create a good balance between work and life. It takes lot
of effort, but it is possible.
“Sometimes taking time off actually makes things much better; it
gives you strength to handle more pressure, and things start getting
better from there on”.
Even the fitness experts ask their clients to have a cheat meal
despite being on a very strict diet. The reason to allow a cheat meal
is to keep the client motivated; else, if the client gets de-motivated
with the regular strict diet, then he/she may quit all together. A
cheat meal keeps their clients from quitting.Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

3. Avoid Multi-Tasking
Though some may find it better to multi-task.
However, the problem with multi-tasking is that
it consumes more of your energy than usual.
It’s proven that it actually ends up taking more
time to finish those individual tasks.
The best way to complete a task is to finish it
and then move to another one. Taking breaks
is of course ok, as you don’t want to drain out
all your energies; however, try not to do
everything at the same time. Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

4. Avoid Distractions.
Today, most of us get distracted time to time
by using Facebook, Twitter, or checking our
mobile phones all the time. These things can
distract you from the work you may be doing,
and can take lot more time than usual to
finish tasks. At the end of the day, when you
are not done with particular tasks, this may
leave you stressed. So, focus is very
important to complete one task and move to
another Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

5. Take Care Of Your Health
Caryn, who is a Nutritionist, says
"A balanced diet is important for
students. Studying mainly during
exams may take up a lot of energy
and, hence, the right amount of
nutrition is vital part of a student's
life".

6. Utilize Your Time In Creative Things.
This means, if you’re a student,
you should spend spare time to
read:
articles on a career planning
Articles on business subjects
Case studies Self/Personal Management by Muhammad Riaz Hamid

7. Stick To A Schedule.
The reason for that is that when you plan things, then
you always stay informed: It means you know when you
will be able to finish a particular assignment or a project.
You can always include breaks or a small outing as
part of the schedule. It will work as an incentive to stick to
schedule, knowing when to do what; otherwise, you may
end up with a pile up of work, including new stuff that you
were not aware of because you didn’t schedule.
Write things up, make notes, plan well, and you will
find it much easier to balance your life between study,
work, and personal life.
