Computer programs

If you have to use a computer, you should have some things to make yourself more efficent. Try getting Google Chrome or Mozilla firefox as your internet browser. I recomend these because they have extensions which are very important.
Chrome extensions-
a theme because they look cool
WOT to avoid malware sites
Panic button- it's YOUR buisness, not the person next to you
auto login- keeps malware off and makes email, etc. faster
video 5- INSTANT youtube load
RSS sub(by google)- You like RSS feeds

Firefox-
Flashreplacer- for vids
WOT- same as above
all of above(if they have it)
anything else(u find something, leave a comment)

Don't forget Microsoft office 2007-2010

work you hate

just do  it. avoid any kind of time keeping device too. This makes me alot more productive. Without a sense of time, you don't know how fast you're going, and your speed becomes normal, threfore you try to go a little faster, and faster, and faster, and faster

doing homework in study hall/in class

In short, do it. if this is simple enough try doing work for at least about 45min.-1hr after this 1/2 and 1/2 work/goofing off. if time is shorter than 1hr 1/2 to 2/3 of the time is the magic work number.

Trouble

Trouble is bad. everyone knows this, but how to avoid it?

don't be popular, popular=freinds(too many)=peer presure=dares=troubleAVOID AT AALL COSTS but have at least 2 good freinds, at least one in some classes/projects

be nice to teachers, but mildly forgetful-THIS IS GOLD!!!!

appear to be a hard working non-procrastinator(this is not hard if you follow previous tips, especially time pockets and part I)

relax, colledge cred classes are all that matters, BUT KEEP AT LEAST B's with some A's and a C here and there

Organization

organization is the key to sucess. If you are in school keep reading, if not scroll down until you see an all caps line.
School
get a nice binder, one with compartments, pencil holders, and about 2-3in big. one with 2 sets of rings is the best.
Get dividers, 12 , or if it's a two set binder 6 and 6. These are invaluable. make one for each subject, one for graph paper, one for note paper, and anything else you need. you always want a few extra.

Folders can be used in your binder too, for projects and impromptu dividers. always have some

The binder carries pencils, pens, calculators, note paper, notes, returned papers, and Home work it is essential. Ideally is holds everything except books.

if you have a locker, keep it organized too and get some miniboards to pin papers/pencil stashes on
================FOR A JOB=======
I don't know, maybe keep your office/cubicle super organized with drawers. you shouldn't need a secretary

Part I-the faster-easier principle/basics

you can make your work easy, or fast. The key is a mix.
these things make work easier:
lots of breaks
Goofing off
Snacking
doing hard things first(after you're certain they're unnecessary of course!)
getting up wenever you feel like it

These things make work faster:
getting up a 5am
No breaks
No snacks
No goofing off

These things are good nomatter what:
"sweet-spotting" your sleep
moderation on breaks
planning
a scedule
willingness to change

These are bad nomatter what:
too much of anything
not enough of anything
not enough food
not enough sleep

Your seceret weapons:
utilizing time pockets(on the bus, walking to school, in the car, etc. )
Snacks
"efficent listening" or don't listen if you don't have to(WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!)

WARNING:
Procrastination
bosses/teachers
working on breaks
YOUR OWN LAZINESS

Tips
a very very small amount of procrastination is good, but can also destroy you.

Snacks are good when memorizing

Sleep 11-9:45 hours a day, try 8:00pm/10:30pm-8:30am

experiment, try to get the optimal balance for yourself of easy and fast.

GET A LAPTOP/NETBOOK with microsoft word if you can, if not use google docs/these are not an option, because they provide procrastination, goofing off, and are essential to use time pockets

More to come,
