You are absolutely right – time management is absolutely necessary for success in life. But when you stick to it, sometimes it’s getting hard to just relax.

After reading this article I find it very humorous! Simply because this is what I do all the time….well, used too. Great article on this very common issue with students in High School! Great Job.

I think that it’s quite easy to manage this kind of balance if you know how to prioritize what needs to be done on your blog. For exapmle, you don’t need to waste time keeping up with twitter if you’re busy with school. This is because it takes a while to get a large following on twitter.

I wish I had the same amount of organizational skills as the author. I can’t keep anything organized, let alone 2 calendars. jeesh.

To start making a blog, is easy
but to maintain a blog to achieve that what we target is a difficult situation and will become easy if we know the right way

“you need to rest and take time to enjoy life, so make sure to not overextend yourself getting involved in too many different activities at one time.”

Right now, as a student, I completely agree and relate to just about everything you’ve covered. Well done. This is an area that’s not discussed often, as it seems, most people in my age bracket don’t blog and what not. :)

I think there is a hard matter of choices. Bloggers are often very entrepreneurial.

I currently facing this situation where I have to balance my time between study and blogging. Yeah, study must come to the top priority.

Anda we have to consider about the fees and payments too!

Thanks!

I am about to go through the exact same thing as you in this upcoming school year. I was in the planning stages during school, which didn’t take nearly as much time as managing my website. This upcoming year will be difficult and your time management suggestions are great.

Good post. Its definitely a challenge to dedicate time to both school/work and blogging/imarketing. But if you want to be successful you need to learn how to effectively juggle them.

Aditya … you’ve got some great ideas there for when work or school demands more attention yet you can’t allow your business and blog to slide. I’ve had really good luck with reblogging, guest posters, putting different slants on older posts, and aggregating older posts into synthesized lists. Planning is always key, and knowing a few of these good techniques for time-crunches has kept my butt out the sling more than once!

What a great post. It’s about 5 minutes until 7pm for me and I actually have an online orientation for the session starting early July at DeVry University. At the same time, I’m trying to catch up on my reading of this blog and a few others I like to view daily.

It’s like this post came at the perfect time because I am about to start this exact balance for the first time here in about a week. I have never been good at planning ahead. However, I have always been a successful crammer and procrastinator (haha). The difference now is that this is the first time I am attempting to do two things that I take seriously.

I am going to take everything you said here to heart. My blog is in it’s beginning stages and so is my degree, so they are both important to me. I’ll do whatever I have to do to keep them both where they need to be.

Again, great post.

As a college instructor, I couldn’t agree with you more about time management being key. It is the one factor that I see consistently in the best students. I’d even say their success has less to do with intelligence and more to do with being able to manage their time.

The other good thing about using a calendar (or multiple calendars) for planning, is that you actually reach an end of a task on certain days. Rather than always feeling that you should be doing more, if you’ve listed a task for a certain day and you’ve completed it, then you’re done – and you can relax guilt free.

Great reminder to all of us that we need some structure to our lives. Thanks.
