How does everyone manage to get all their uni work done???

[charlotte121]

Im finding it so hard juggling uni assesments with spending time with my son, doing house work and decorating etc. Just getting enough time to wash my hair is a struggle atm. I try and make sure that Im up early enough to get stuff done, and make the most of the time that my son sleeps in but there just dont seem to be enough hours in a day and i have so much to do. Any advice? starting to panic as I need to be as organise as possible. DD due in 13 weeks!!! Starting to get a bit worn out from it all. thanks x

i tend to be up half the night working on mine, i have childcare just to cover when i'm in uni.
i then spend the sfternons playing with the dc, they go to bed by about 8.30 and i spend from then on working. I'm on easter hols soon from uni, the schools arent on hols til 3 weeks after mine starts, so as i still have childcare for dd, she gonna go to childminder as per her normal routine and i'm gonna go to library and study do my final assignments and exam revision. in the hope i'll be able to spend the evenings sleeping!
housework i do general cleaning/hoovering as we go, and a proper clean once a fortnight when dd goes to her dads, and as ds is getting older he sleeps in usually on a sunday so i do as much as i can then. as you can imagine slightly chaotic looking flat. being small it looks overcrowded (ok messy ) much of the time, but also doesnt take long to clean when i do find a spare hour
of course when we have dc things never go as we plan............

Sympathies- i'm in my final year and battling against several deadlines, a dissertation and ds due in 3 weeks LOL!

The truth is I keep going from day to day at the moment with sights very much on the goal of the degree, and the end of studying. Was going to do part of an MA last year but have accepted I need a year out (DH going to Uni after that so will need to pay some bills!)

I just find it so hard with so many distractions going on around me, and im not sure if i can meet some of the deadlines. Dont want to ask for an extension but i may have to with some of the work.
just getting a little bit tired now, and having a whacking great bump to contend with is making things all the more difficult.
Im scared it will all get on top of me and i will fail the year... that would be disasterous as i need to be able to get a job and cant really afford to repeat the year.just feel like theres a lot riding on my sholders
