IT'S NOT EASY being young these days. People expect so much of you.

First, you have to be good at your studies. Then, thanks to the notion of 'all-round development', you should also have some hobbies and do well in at least one of them.

On top of that, you are expected to organise activities for others and probably do some kind of volunteer work.

All that sounds fair enough. But how do you find time? Young Post asked several high achievers for their advice.

Young artist Kwok Ying, 24, one of the winners of this year's Hong Kong Art Biennial competition, said setting priorities was vital to managing your time. When she was at university, Kwok used to do her artwork in between studying. But art equipment didn't come cheap so she taught painting on weekends to save enough money to buy supplies.

To save time, Kwok concentrated hard during lessons so she wouldn't have to spend too much time studying afterwards.

'I spent more time on subjects I enjoyed and was more interested in,' she recalled.
