Finding a school/work/life balance

by mjacobson1986 » Wed Nov 06, 2013 9:12 am
While I felt like there are constant discussions about work/life balance. I wanted to open up a forum for current MBA students to discuss any tips folks may have about balancing school/work/personal life. As a second year in a full time MBA program, I recognize the importance of devoting my attention primarily to my education, especially as it becomes really clear how quickly this process will be over. However, I don't know about you guys, but I actually have to continue working and paying the bills (fortunately with my old company who allowed me to stay on in a part time consultant role). Still, I have to honor that commitment, and commitment to my family. While I am loving my experience, sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming? Does anyone else feel like they have been able to strike an effective balance? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks for any insight!
