Is this just me?

Hi everyone,

I’m still in school, and it seems like I get home, do my homework and then all of a sudden it’s late and I have to go sleep. I don’t even have much homework. I feel like I never get time to crochet. Anyone else in school, can you tell me how you manage to find time for your hobbies?

Im in university now but when I was in grade 11 and 12 (I don’t remember the rest of high school lol) and getting loads of homework every night I would do 45 minutes of the homework and then crochet for 10 mins as a break and then repeat that process. It allowed me to study and retain knowledge while also getting time to do the things I loved. When it came to exam week I changed it to 90 mins study per subject (every exam week I had 7 subjects to study for that were all spread through exams on each day in the next week :sob:) and then a half an hour break. Im not sure if that would fit into your sleep schedule but it helped me a whole lot to figure out better time management for school while still also getting to do the things that I loved so I didn’t become miserable lol. Hope I could be of help <3

I definitely feel you! I have school, but on top of that, I play a lot of sports, and I coach a team too, so I usually have at least 3 hours of sports every day. And that’s not counting my daily workout…

I actually don’t have this problem, because I tend to crochet/do my homework after midnight, but I don’t need a lot of sleep, so unless you’re the same, I wouldn’t recommend trying this :sweat_smile:

hello! i know im homeschooled and all but… i usually try to study for like an hour (probably like 45 minutes or so actually) and then I take a break to compose and have a snack for like 10-15 minutes. usually in the last 5 minutes I try to write down what I remember of the material tho. so basically i

study very hard for 45 minutes

compose and eat for 10 minutes

write down what i remember studying for 5 minutes

reminder that you don’t necessarily have to compose, it can be any hobby :3

Thanks everyone! This was really helpful!

Yea i get that, i feel like i have no time for things i wanna do. But you could try to see if your school has a crochet club

I’ve been having the same problem so thank you to anyone that gave tips​:sob:
