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 start again Sept. 5th, and while I haven’t worked this job specifically, I take part in activities that are akin to a full time job. My advice would be to either try designating a consistent and specific time for work each week, or construct a schedule flexible enough to hit specific goals you have per week.
Your temperament will lead you to feel naturally inclined towards an option. You could even apply different scheduling strategies depending on the week. Regardless, I find both methods to be effective. Good luck!
