I'm starting my third year in Electrical Engineering for the second time, since on last year when the year just started, I started working and couldn't handle both.
Any tips are welcomed.
Like, would you recommend setting beforehand a timetable and writing there the time I'm gonna invest in studying, working and hobbies?
Or is it not practical to follow?
Simple. Don't work. Many people don't have enough time studying. Those that are scheduled and efficient studiers find time for hobbies or work...not both.
Hey,

You should prepare a study timetable, break that down into formal study time and revision time.
Keep any one period of study less than 1 hour before taking a break.
We seem to take for granted that studying/learning should come naturally,
but in my experience it dosnt, its a subject in itself, which IMO has to be learnt.
There are many ways to improve your 'learning and recall' efficiency.

When last year started, I began to invest more and more time in my job, since the first 2 months were hell (lots of silly mistakes), until i just stopped studying for the degree and concentrated on the job.
Caffine and lots of it helps and oddly enough I found public transport rather useful, freed from chore of actaully controlling a vehicle to and from wherever I was going to gave me between 40 minutes and a couple of hours a day to have breakfast, do some revision and catch some sleep while everbody else chewed thier stearing wheel stuck in traffic.
