I am a full time student taking 22 credit hours this semester, I have two children, a husband, a job, and I can't manage all of these. I have tried to manage my time better, but I can't seem to do it. I have tried so hard and ended up quitting my job. I have a 3.0 in school, and i have been working very hard with that. I have my children and my husband and I have to have time for them. I can't seem to manage a job in with everything else. Is there any time management skills that could help me, or is there any sort of online job or something that i could do to help with the income without losing my mind. Something real, not something that I have to pay to join. I need something, please help.

There are many ways to make extra money online and I will let others tell you those but give yourself a break. You have 3 full time jobs already you had 4. Being a mom is more then a full time job. Being a wife is a full time job. Going to school is a full time job. You are only one person. Maybe try to clip coupons to save money or go to sites where you can get free samples. That would cut down on some of the cost. You have a 3.0 and that is amazing. Try to find a way to finish school and keep your family happy. I can honestly tell you that doing too much and not having any time for yourself will only hurt you in the long run. Take a bubble bath with candles tonight and see how good it feels to give yourself a break. Best of luck to you.. you are an amazing woman!!

hey, this is just amazing. You are all rolled into one and it is wonderful. There are many sites out there where you can make money. If you are good at content producing, why not try your hand at writing. There are many sites out there which will pay you for your contents. Well, this can't be a permanent sort of thing. However, you will get residula income. Sites like, associated content, constant content, helium are some of them.
And for the time management skill, don't try to do verything by yourself. Whenever possible, share your job. Take help where required. And do not even try to be a perfectionist. Go with the flow and you will automatically have time for everything else.

Oh my you have a lot going on with 22 hrs and children and a husband and a job no wonder you have no spare time. Could you get some help from a family member at least until you are out of school.I mean you are stretched just too far. You need to ask for some help. I get the idea that money is short but surely your mom or a cousin or aunt or friend could pitch in and help you with the family so you would have time for school and maybe a part time job if it has to be. I do not know about on line jobs as there is so much scams involved and a lot of them do not tell you up front that you have to invest money. another thought do you have friends or relatives who have parttime jobs that might fit into your situation.But you do need help as there is only so many hours in a day and family and school work do take a lot of time.

I do have a lot on my plate right now, unfortunetly my family are 45 minutes away. My cousin lives up here, but she works long hours and her children are mostly at the babysitters, so she really couldn't help out. Thanks so much for the suggestions. Thanks for the comment.
