As long as I was doing my plus two, I had a simple routine. Just to study, wake up, eat and repeat. But once I completed my plus two and joined my basketball degree, I had to get one job support my studies. So once I started doing this job, that was the time when I had to change my routine unexpectedly and I had zero time to do anything else. So in the morning I had to wake up, go to college and come back home, have some meal and again go for the teaching. So that was really unexpected and really hard for me to do. It happened when I was in my first year of study. I had to maintain my study along with the work. So it was really hard but I somehow managed with it. So the first and foremost thing I did was create a routine so it won’t affect my study as well. I started getting discipline and used to the routine. My routine was simple, working up, having a breakfast, going to college, starting for five periods, almost five hours only, and then coming back home, having a meal, resting for a while, and then going back for the work. From which I used to return in the evening, and sometime I used to take extra classes, which would take some one or two hours more and it would leave me with less time to study. So in the evening time I used to come back, have my dinner and take some time of rest and then started working on my study for an hour or two. Though it was hard, I got used to it and along with that I had to take care of other aspects of my life as well because I had a family, friends and I really liked to spend time with them so I had to make time for them and those happened usually during the holidays, during the vacations when I used to go around with them. I did not let my life be decided by my work and study only, I used to go around with them, enjoy the time. I really went on a hiking picnic tours and I spent my holidays as happily as possible. Sometimes I just needed rest and I took time and when I got sick I used to take rest. That’s the thing I did it. That’s the way I did it mostly.
