Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering how much time people spend working each week, how that time is divided, and what you do to stay on top of multiple responsibilities. Thanks!

Depends. Some weeks are fine, some are absolutely terrible. As for time management, everyone does it differently. I tend to make up a "to do" list for each day and stick to it.

15 hours RA and seeing pts in our group's lab. about 20 hours week clinical practicum. One 4 hour class per week. Couple hours of reading each nite. and couple hours of dissertation work everynite.

It varies for every person - as some people have no RA requirements, others have 20 hours a week - some people TA, some don't, etc. I have really varied this semester, but for a while I tried to treat it like a normal job: work every day from about 8am to 6pm, and then do nothing grad-school related on nights or weekends. This includes going to class, classwork, RA hours, research, etc..
