The single highest-leverage habit in college
If you can only change one thing, change how you plan the week. Open the Weekly Planner every Sunday evening, block out every class, every deadline, and every social thing you've already committed to. The empty slots are your study time. This takes ten minutes and saves you dozens of hours a semester.
Essays: write first, edit second
Most college writing gets graded on clarity more than vocabulary. Write your first draft without editing, then run it through the Readability Checker. If it's grade 13+, rewrite the longest sentences until it drops to 10–12. This single step often moves a B paper to an A.
