I generally try to avoid re-posting many links in favor of writing original content, but I know I’m not the only one juggling work, family, and graduate school. For those in a similar boat, check out Lifehack‘s post this morning on "How to study with a full-time job." For example:

Most commutes (with the exception of bumper to bumper trips) are a quiet time perfect for getting in as much studying in as possible. Also, if any of your materials come in a digital format (PDF, Word Doc, etc.) you should convert these documents into audio files, and listen to them during your commute. Here is an excellent post that details how to turn just about any electronic document into an MP3.

I have a 30-minute each way commute and am able to listen to quite a few podcasts on my way to and from work, so it makes sense that it would be an ideal time to do some auditory studying.
