Balancing a job, family life and study in London isn’t about perfection—it’s about a practical system you can actually keep. This guide gives you simple weekly timeboxing, energy-savvy scheduling, and time-saving tools.
If you’re not yet an ELATT student, you’ll also find flexible evening courses in London and part-time courses for adults at ELATT, plus how our Careers & Employability and Wellbeing teams can support you.
Adult learners face constraints that don’t pause for term time, such as time pressure, post-work energy dips and childcare.
At ELATT, most adult courses run online (live, tutor-led sessions with practical tasks), intentionally designed for busy adults with work and caring responsibilities. Where in-person sessions are needed, we timetable them to fit busy lifestyles—not fight them.

First, observe your natural rhythm: note the times you’re sharpest and most productive—and the windows when you’re not. Then match task difficulty to your energy curve:
You don’t need fancy gear—just a repeatable stack. If you’re not tech-savvy, a paper wall calendar, printed or phone-based weekly checklist, and a simple phone timer work brilliantly. Prefer apps? A basic phone calendar and timer are enough.
