How to deal with Context Switching working full time while being a student?
I'm having a difficult time to switch from my work stack (React/Vue, C#) to my college stack (React and Laravel). It's not really the framework switch that is the most difficult, but to switch to different context of projects and complexity.
I'm starting to feel really behind at college, since I prioritize to deliver on time at my job. My college assignments are late due and I'm trying to save my semester, but it's been complicated. Every time I find myself available at my job, I find it difficult to use the spare time to work on something from my college project. I used to do this all the time at my previous job as an Infra Assistant and had no problem doing so.
How do you manage context switching? Is there any hack, not to solve (since I don't believe there is a solution for this), but to cope with the transitions I have to make on a daily basis?
I'm open to hear any tips, experiences and hacks you tried or used to deal with Context Switching. Thanks!
