Those of you who have this as a part time job and are also a student

[WSOPWinner2005]

I am self teaching myself the A+, NET +, MCSE, and if all goes well the CCNA from there (all IT Certifications). I get ALOT done when I study all day. However I rarely can focus on poker properly after draining myself mentally slamming new stuff into my brain for a 10 - 14 hour session.

I know most of you tend to do half a day of classes/studying and a half day of poker (or whatever). How do you keep on schedule on a consistent basis and avoid binging on one or the other (yes, I have an addictive personality)

I find myself either totally caught up in studies not wanting to play poker or totally caught up in poker not wanting to study.

I was wondering how those of you in my situation have handled this if you have experiences it at all ?

I post this here and not in the psychology forumn because it seems there are ALOT of college students that frequent her, I doubt so many in the psychology forum
