How to balance programming and studying.

As a student, we should study hard at school. But if we have a hobby like coding, it may takes a lot of time to do this. It is important for as to know about how to balance programming and studying in our daily life and school life.

First, I'd like to talk about my situation. I'm a senior high school student, coding is my hobby, and it's a part of my life. I code sometimes in weekend and holiday, but the time I programmed was pieces.

If I take some weeks or month without programming, I'll find that it is hard to continue. Read the code I wrote before, the notes were still there, but I need some times to understand what the code doing.

I'll forget some of the grammar, I need to learn it again. I know that it is important for me to spend most of the time studying in school, when I do this, I don't have time to write the program. Those are what I'm facing between programming and studying.

So I wandered how to balance programming and studying. The first solution is to study now, and program after the final exam. It's an easy way, but after the final exam, we may find that we like a beginner, everything will have a new starting. If you want to change the programming language, for example, now you are learning C++, and want to learn Python in the future, this is the best way to deal with. What you need to do, is to study hard and welcome to a new beginning.

In addition, if we are now very busy with our studies, we can learn some programming skills every week. We can read some books such as computer competition or program designing. You'd better not search online for program during this time, it may have a bad influence with your study.

In the end, programming needs continuation, and the school work is also important. We need to balance it, and enjoy it.
