This post is meant as a question more than anything, but how can a "normal" person handle a lot of responsibility in their life at once? I am talking about those who work full time jobs and go to college or work over 40 hours a week and have a spouse and children at home.

I struggle to manage working part time and going to school as a single adult male without getting overwhelmed. How can people manage so much more? It almost seems superhuman to me.

I know that I could never manage what some of these other people do. If I ever had to work more than 40-50 hours a week and take care of a family, I would crumble under that amount of pressure and run for the hills. I am just not wired to be that way.

How to people do it?
