Thankfully, now you can pursue an EMBA, or an Executive MBA, while still working. A lot of professionals are looking forward to pursuing an MBA executive program, but are hesitant to leave their jobs. The fact that they need to quit their job while pursuing an MBA is a big deterrent. But if you know the right tips you can make it work. 

This blog will discuss how you can manage your life working and pursuing your MBA. Here are a few pointers to help you work more efficiently and avoid feeling overburdened..

5 Ways to manage EMBA while working:

Don’t let the job come in between your learning journey. If you are a passionate learner who wishes to upgrade your knowledge and skill for a better future then nothing seems difficult even when sometimes the situation gets challenging.

1 - Look for part-time/Online MBA Executive Programs:
There is no doubt that part-time programs are the most opt choices among students and especially among working professionals. You can pursue a part-time MBA while working, requiring only about 15 hours per week for individual study and 1-2 evenings for lectures. You can also start an Online MBA by going to the website of your preferred university. While it requires the same level of commitment, it provides significantly more flexibility. When you are not at work, attend virtual lectures and simply email assignments.

If part-time work does not suit you, technology once again comes to your help by providing you with the option of freelance work. Multiple platforms offer freelancing work through which you can be able to make money and manage your time to study as well.

2 - Look for pros and cons before opting MBA degree
Look into additional information regarding costs, entry requirements, attendance requirements, curriculum, and other features to make a smooth plan for obtaining your MBA.

Check your chances of admission and see if the MBA's curriculum aligns with what you hope to learn. Verify how often the business school hosts workshops and other networking opportunities. It will help you to improve upon real-world business skills.

3 - Perfectly plan the schedule ahead of time 
You can choose to manage your time between work and your Executive MBA on the weekends, or you can choose to be an early bird or a night owl. Be organized and set up the proper reminders for classes and assignment due dates. It is best to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses so that you can create a schedule that works best for you. Create a night owl schedule if you perform your best work at night and are still able to rise in the morning.

4 - Use the gadgets to save time and learn from anywhere
Use your cell phone to stay organized, and take your mini laptop with you to finish assignments. These small, portable devices can easily help you complete a few paragraphs of your assignment while having lunch or sneak in an hour of studying while driving. Just be careful not to overdo it. 

5 - Set the schedule to enjoy your time
Due to your intense workload and classes, you might feel anxious and your performance might deteriorate. So, to balance your mental and emotional health, make sure you have a life that is separate from these two things. Grab a coffee with friends occasionally, go out, or watch movies that you've been longing to see.

Conclusion
These are some of the helpful tips that may help you make the right choice for your career growth. Do follow the above pointers to keep a healthy work-life balance, you will never stop growing if you equally prioritize the demands of  your career and personal life.
