1. Get a time schedule of what you need to do every day
- I.e - a planner that you handwrite in or an app
2. Read your textbook of what the teacher will teach ahead of time
- it sounds painful but as you progress into more challenging classes, it will help a lot
3. Make sure to relax
- sounds counterintuitive to working hard, but if you feel tired and unhappy, your work will show that
4. Work efficiently not necessarily hard
- don't just work hard for the sake of working hard, organize your task into smaller chunks (ex. with a planner) and the day will fly by faster
Hope that helps!
