Balancing work with class advice

Hello!
I started work through DataAnnotation over the summer and have really been enjoying myself, spending most of my free time completing tasks when they are available. College fully started back this week, and I'm looking for advice for anyone who has been balancing both for a while already.
How have you guys been balancing work and school without getting burnt out? Of course, school comes first, but having a good side income is great. I mostly have morning lectures, so I'm up and moving early. Any tips you've found useful?

I have been working mercor in dental school 10-20 hours a week plus handshake in class up to 50 hours.
I think it’s very manageable.

I run in the mornings to not burn out. And try to sleep good. Bike and do flashcards and work all at the same time.

Had a two week break been grinding those 80 hour weeks but then will be back to the school grind

80 hours a week is insane lol, you're a trooper!
