24 hours-7hours(sleep)-2hr(BS)-9hours(work)-3hours(training). Pretty much my life in a small sentence. The small amount of time I have left has been enough to get me a wifey =p. Too bad I will screw it up & ignore her. Kinda wish I didn't ignore people for time to myself.

When I still played Maple, this is how I did it:

-Go to school
-Get home and play Maple
-Go to work after school for 4-7 hours.
-Get home and Maple
-Do a little homework if I even remember

And as for working out I've tried to start twice in the past, and it lasts about a month then I give up.

Prioritize the most important ones, like someone said, and go from there.
I kinda just let all my activities consume me cause I don't want to have time alone to think to myself.

I don't go to school anymore but..

Work is work. Might get off later or earlier.

Soon as I get off I turn on maple and just afk.

Head out to the gym which is just a literal mile from home.

Do anything I gotta do after.

Maple.

During the weekdays I just boss and grind up extra 5%. Being 208 makes weekday grinding a thing of the past. I don't work out on weekends so I got free time if my buddies don't bother me.

Prioritize what you feel is most relevant. School should be top priority, but everything else is up to you.
Personally, I'd do school, work (although I don't have a job, this counts for extracurriculars), working out (I do like half an hour worth of stuff, nothing big), and gaming (which I only got back onto recently)

1. School and work are scheduled and I have no control on those days. 3. I do my abs stuff in the morning and cardio later on every day. 4. I don't really game much now a days but all my free time is spent towards making plans, tinder, listening to music, and Netflix.

1. Work full time shift ( 8 - 5 )
2. Training 2 - 3 hours 6 days a week
3. I play total war games, these are really time consuming, but I know when to quit.
4. I have to do my own chores and cooking since I don't live with my parents.

The problem is I have no social life, I interact with mainly bros at the gym, and co-workers. However doing all of these, I actually get on average 6 hours of sleep at night, but i sleep to my full during the weekends. It's not really a difficult lifestyle, but it's rather lackluster, and not so glamorous since I don't even party (only party I go to is a deadlift party brah)

If I were you I'd consider giving up any social life outside of these activities.

you can do them, as long as you don't waste your time and you stick to a schedule

1. Work: I only work 3 times a week at a hibachi restaurant. As you know, these types of restaurants are decent in terms of tips so I have no issue as of right now. (Being a student, of course).
2. School: I only have 4 classes, Mon - Thurs. 2 per day, and they're quite easy (core classes, being a freshie in Uni), so I just go to class, do whatever they assign, which isn't much, and then go about the rest of my day! However, I am studying because I have a few exams next week, so there's that.
3. Working out: I don't have a regular schedule, but my roommate and I go rock climbing once or twice a week, not to mention going up hella hills to get to class each day.
4. Gaming: I used to play Tera along with MS, but now it's primarily MS. Not much of a gamer these days, but whenever I do, it's at night on the weekends because that's when my friends are all on, but MS forces me to get on daily, so I do make sure to do whatever's necessary then log off to not waste any more time.

As you can see, it isn't too terrible. Of course I don't spend each waking hour doing something, but that's basically my schedule in a nutshell. If I'm not doing these things I'm probably sleeping or just chilling w friends at the student center, etc. Hope this helps!
