Trying to Juggle a New Baby and School

9/2/2016

0 Comments

 
​Having a new baby is always exciting, but try throwing school that works as a full time job (without the benefits of getting paid at the end of your 2 weeks) on top of testing on what seems like every other day.  Starting a school that teaches you more about your passion and career path is enough to motivate anyone.  Well, try throwing a new baby in the picture.  Your motivation turns into determination that never gets… sleep.  You are already away for 8hrs Monday through Friday and you refuse to miss a beat because when they’re at that age, everything comes in bundles and it seems like you should record everyday in order to never miss what’s new to come.  Well, that’s where I’m at in my life.  I’m just trying to figure out how to make it all work with the time (the one thing that waits for no one).  Having a new baby is always exciting and now you’re double excited with school that teaches you more about your passion and career path because your end goal is to provide better for her.  I’m not complaining because I love the challenge.

​Strategy #1:   Use school time wisely. 
If you have free time during school, use that time to try and get some homework done or even study for an upcoming test.

​Strategy#2:  Baby is PRIORITY. 
After coming home from a long day at school, school work should not be the first thing you do.  Instead, spend time with baby.  Spending time with baby can be used as an escape from the thoughts about school and showing him or her how much they’re missed.
​
​Strategy #3:  Never let it overwhelm you. 
“Never borrow what you can’t stand to get back.”  SLEEP  Sleep is key.  Knowing your functioning limits without sleep is a must but neglecting too much sleep will definitely overwhelm you in the long run.

​These things may or may not work for you but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
Good luck!
