In your present situation—obligations of work, classes, family, etc.—you should be careful to not neglect that which gives you the strongest internal, spiritual strength. A devotee whose faith is still not yet strong must always be careful to not be swept back under Maya's influence. Every devotee needs protection against Maya. Srila Prabhupada once said to one of his disciples, "The difference between you and me is that I will never fall down because I am always afraid of Maya." At every step we must seek protection— what to speak of during our first steps.
