Obviously there isn't going to be more hours in the day, so you really need to call all your friends to help you, even if it's one hour at a time. One hour when you both can sleep, study (or work). Use babysitters. Maybe MLL could provide help for you? https://www.mll.fi/vanhemmille/lastenhoitovalityspisteet Or private babysitters? You don't even have to leave the house if your goal is to sleep or study for a little while.
Schedule everything you want to do. Make a family timetable. Lukujärjestys. And do not change easily the things you decided to put there. Being with someone and having kids means compromises. If one of you is not willing to compromise more than the other, then you absolutely have to meet half way.
And lastly but not least of all, prioritize. You really have limited time. 24 hours in a day. Your daughter is this age only once.
Take care of your own health because if you are not alright, you can not be there for your daughter. So sleep enough, whenever needed and whenever you can. Things will look brighter with enough sleep.
Be with you daughter. She will soon grow and after couple of years some things will be easier just as some things will be harder.
Adjusting work, study and leisure time is hard, I know, but although studying is very important, you can do it later. Next year. Studying will wait for you. Your family is more important and if that means that you are the one to postpone your goals because you may have to compromise more, then you just have to accept it.
We know Steemit isn't this important, and that Steemit will still be here tomorrow even if there is one or two (five) posts less from someone. But it doesn't help your situation if only we know it. So if there's nothing to be done to that situation, I'm afraid you have to compromise more. Unfair, but your daughter will thank you now and later.
My advice for prioritizing:
- sleep
- daughter
- study
- everything else
P.S. You can try reading your study material out loud to your daughter during the days. Studying together university material with an infant has a quite ambitious ring to it. :) Or try to read whenever you can. One page at a time. Maybe one five minute reading break every now and then?
Very good tips dear @insaneworks . I appreciate that you took the time to think about this and answer. The thing with my studies is that I've been postponing them for a very long time already and I think it would benefit our whole family if I could just get it done. But maybe I have to stretch the schedule a little bit, until our daughters daycare starts. Have to try reading out loud the study books to her.. maybe before naptime. At least it makes me sleepy, so... ;)
It's always easy to advise others. And pretty hard to do the same things in ones own life.
It is darn difficult to bend or compromise more if one does not want to do that anymore. But when looking things after 10 or 20 years has passed, one can only state the same clichés several others have stated before:
Children are children only once. Family and loved ones are all that matters. You can start or continue studies later or at old age too. Someone always has to compromise more than others so that those others can chase the things they think are at this moment the most important things in the world. And: was being right worth it.
And then there's the fact that when your daughter at ten years old turns out to be a child genius, because you read something else than solely children's stories to her, you can take the credit for that and say you did it all because of her.
True that! :)
