From my long experience with these topics, another item to add to the list: <em>Adds Time Instead of Reducing It</em> When you study the habits of students who do well at college, this divide becomes clear. Some motivated undergrads try to increase their grades by making their systems <em>more</em> complicated. They add more reading time, more reviews, earlier start dates on studying. The best students, on the other hand, start by looking where they can eliminate wasted time. They might, for example, find a better note-taking format that removes the time-consuming processing of their notes later on. Great post.
