I work full time 5 days a week. I plan on completing assignments on my days off and/or after work. I work the 7-3p shift, so there are times I get home and find myself being exhausted. Fatigue can easily become an interference for me. How I decide to combat that is by taking a nap for allotted amount of time then wake up and being my classwork.
