The Power to Succeed is In Your Own Hands

We are all busy with our lives. Sometimes we forget that all we are doing is controllable. We can balance our time if we are willing to do so. Yip, Alphie. (2020) It's not easy, but we will get used to it. Planning is an excellent way to organize our life in school and everyday tasks. As they said, follow the flow. "When we work hard at something, we like to be rewarded—with grades, praise, money, or something else we value. Part of our job as a student is to study course material for exams or future applications." (Stone 2014 pg.100). 

I did a different strategy that will make me effective. I had already set my plan before returning to school. I need to reduce my hours at work and not do overtime. While at work, if my job is relatively relaxed, I do my assignment and read lectures during my breaks. And when I get home, I still have time to watch a movie with my family. I still have time to exercise, clean the house and do some errands. What I can't do that I usually do is take a family vacation and edit videos for my Reels. (Meta pay me to do this short video). 

Often my coworkers said it's hard to balance a job and school. I told myself I had a full-time job and school and a 3-year-old kid. And it depends on how you handle and balance your time. I need to think positively because not everybody is the same. Determination is essential because it enables us to persist in facing difficulties. Believe in yourself, and we are in control of our life. Even in the most challenging moments, we still get to decide what to do. Believe in our ability to reach our goals.
