Balancing Startup Life and College Life

13th June 2008 - Posted by Derek Johnson in category Misc

Nearly everyday someone asks how I manage to balance both school and Tatango simultaneously. Honestly, it’s almost impossible to balance both. The work that is associated with Tatango completely consumes you, work never stops, and that’s what I love about it. The knowledge that I’ve obtained from work is priceless and can’t be taught in a classroom. Which is one of the main reasons why it’s extremely difficult to focus on the lessons being taught in class, I’ve already experienced much of it in “the real world.” However, a college degree is a necessity in today’s world, and I realize that. I set aside thirty minutes every night to catch up on homework and plan the following day, this allows me to stay on track with school and prepared for the following day. Organization is the key to balancing a hectic lifestyle.
