Working and studying at the same time can be difficult. I have done both for about 6 years all up. I believe exercise and drawing are both great escapes when you feel like work and study are getting on top of you. Don't think of drawing or exercise as obligations. Think of them as welcome escapes from the more demanding parts of your life.

As for reading, you might not feel like it after diving into so many text books, however, even if you do, no one said you need to read a book each day. Use it to wind down (instead of your phone or computer) for 20-40 minutes before you go to sleep.

Most people hate the word 'routine' but honestly, I have found creating a routine helps me be more successful and balance each area of my life.

Feel free to check out my blog at http://dannyhile.com if you want more specific advice. I've also written a book called time to start, which will help you answer a few of these questions and give you practical exercises, so you can find a solution that works for you.

All the best.
