Here's how I balance life and EQ:

I use EQ as motivation to study. I know it sounds crazy but there's a method to this madness. Essentially I pick AFK camps, some camps that you'll only have to do something every X amount of time (30 min for Xalgoz, for example) and I study for the rest of the time. This motivates me to actually study because I have to sit there for 30 min anyway, I might as well get some work done.

EC is also a good place to do this, hit the auction button every 10 min or so and check occasionally for tells.

This makes it so I'm playing a game which I enjoy, while studying which I enjoy significantly less. It balances it out. Its great getting a fungi tunic while writing an essay.

It is a ton of time invested but you get what you put into it, and its obviously fun as fuck if we're all playing on an emulated server of a game that was released 13 years ago.
I do this all the time, well when I was in school, but whenever i work from home or fold laundry or have to clean or some shit...it's really therapeutic.
