Balancing Sixth form, a job, and life

On an average week i work 14 hours, plus i’m at college 5 days a week. I have guitar lessons and practice i have to do and going to the gym. My guitar lessons are important because of my a-levels. and going to the gym everyday isn’t something i’m willing to change.
if i could drop out and work full time i would. I can’t afford to quit my job, and i don’t have enough time to revise or do homework, and am often in trouble for not completing tasks. when it comes to revision, i feel like i know very little, and never know what to prioritise because i’m told that every little thing is “something to work on”

my college states we have to do 4 hours of independent study per subject per week (excluding set homework tasks) and i don’t think i’d ever have enough time in a week to do that

Saturday: 3:00-10:00 work
Sunday: housework, shopping and chores and catch up where i can.

guitar practice at home i aim for 30-60min per day, and go to the gym 6 days a week usually takes around 90 minutes out of my day, usually after college, or before work on a saturday (thursday is my rest day)

i usually get up around 6-6:30 on a weekday, and 8:00 on weekends otherwise i’m exhausted from work. and usually go to bed around 11:30pm
