Hey everyone! I'm wrapping up my second year in a Computer Science Bachelor's program and I find it challenging to manage my study time across different subjects. I end up focusing too much on one topic and falling behind in others. With all the essential areas to cover like networking, algorithms, SQL, and various programming practices, plus personal interests like vim and regex, I really struggle with prioritizing what to study and when.
I'm especially keen on becoming job-ready, so I want to ensure I focus on what will be most useful, but it all feels equally important. How do you all approach your daily study sessions? What's a good way to effectively divide your time and topics?

It's important to realize that being job-ready isn't about knowing everything. It's more about your adaptability to learn and handle new situations. Since technology changes all the time, having the mindset to learn on the go is just as vital. You might never really feel "done" with a topic—just tackle it bit by bit. I recommend creating a priority list for learning, sorting things by their importance to you. For example, regex hasn't been on my radar lately, since nowadays AI can help generate those patterns. When I was a student, I just focused on what was assigned, but now there are so many resources online that can guide you.
I appreciate your thoughts! I’m trying to get better at formulating my questions, and I definitely need to utilize AI more for that. Should I stick to one subject until I feel I’ve mastered it, or mix things up daily to keep my skills fresh?
