Dear economist: I am a graduating student. I am under great pressure.

In this semester alone, I have to complete 7 course design projects and assignments, and write papers and 5 exams.

I am the captain of the karate club, which requires me to invest a lot of time.

Moreover, I am still looking for a job, which means that there will be many interviews and assessments in the coming months.

Time is not enough. How can I effectively arrange these tasks?

Derek, Derrick, wrote to you by e-mail: Dear Derek: you are not an economics student, otherwise you may have solved the problem of linear programming.

I'll give you some other ideas.

First of all, the time you spend now is to invest rather than consume: Examinations and job hunting will increase your spending power in the future.

In these circumstances, lending to the future is a rational act.

You can borrow some time from the future with some stimulation, but the more practical way is to spend money for time.

Quit all part-time jobs, go out to take a taxi, hire a dustman to clean up, eat for takeout.

This will save time; you can deal with these costs after you find a good job.

What's more important is that you need to trade for profit opportunities.

Your karate seems to be an area of relative superiority, so maybe you can convince a clever but weak person to write a paper for you.

In exchange, you can make the boyfriend of his dream a perfect meal.

For you, this is just 5 minutes of karate practice, and for your gunners, this will be a change of his life experience. It's much more expensive than spending a lot of time writing papers.

Capitalism is sometimes like this.
