Most people do part-time MBA. And it is nothing wrong with that. MBA are usually designed for industry-inclined folks, not for scholarly academicians.
Even MBAs are designed for working folks, it is still a big challenge to most of us. I have seen enough working people give up pursuing their MBA not long after the embark on the journey.
Work alone is bad enough, especially for those who work in tough workplaces. Switching our brains between study and work on daily basis accelerate our aging process.
One of the key skills needed to cope is to become more productive. But how to get our productivity up? Learn from the guru, of course.
There is a three-letter word GTD that represent a whole field of interest - Getting Things Done. It came out of David Allen's book "Getting Things Done":
From the moment we wake up until the time we go to bed, most of us have an overwhelming number of things to do
everyday, at home, at school, at work. We have to go at a hurried pace just to get everything done, and sometimes we feel that we have too much to handle and our lives are getting out of our control. We get home tired, stressed out and worried about the things we failed to do and all the other things that we have yet to do the next day.
“Getting Things Done” by David Allen describes an “incredibly practical process that can help busy people regain control of their lives”, become more relaxed, and still get everything done. He provides systems, tools, insights, and tips on how to accomplish more with less effort, be happier and more successful individuals.
You don't need to rush to buy the book, yet. First, grab (download) a free copy of Productivity Magazine here. David Allen is interviewed in the first free edition.
Get a feel of this GTD movement, and take it from there. Put in some effort, you will be able to cope with your work+study life.
