We're in the same boat.
I'm teaching Diploma students and at the same time, I'm doing Master by research part time. Been doing this for almost 2 years now.
During the day, I work as normal. But at night, I do research. Or sometime during my free time during the day, I will curi-curi masa do research hahaha!
Quite tired, but challenging & pushing you to the limit on how you manage your time plus with spending time with family & etc.

I believe we can do it if we put our minds to it + discipline & perseverance.
