Fourth year, three ventures and an internship: how I balance it

This year I am in my fourth year of Applied Physics and Computer Science, I lead three ventures and I am an intern at Momentum Labs. People often ask how it works. The honest answer is that it works through a few simple habits, not through superhuman energy.

Choose what matters this month

I cannot give every project equal attention at the same time. Each month I decide what moves first. Exams and deadlines come first when they are close, then the venture with the clearest next milestone.

Let each side feed the other

My degree gives me fundamentals in databases, networks and systems design. My ventures show me what those fundamentals look like under real pressure. I often finish a lecture and apply the idea in code the same evening.

Write things down

A short plan for the week, with a few outcomes, protects me from busy days that produce nothing.

Protect rest and faith

Sunday Mass and quiet time are not optional for me. They keep me steady, and steady work beats frantic work.

What I would tell other students

You do not need permission to start building. You do need to be honest about your limits, ask for help and finish what you commit to.
