ﾟ.*･｡ﾟprioritization ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
put all your thoughts and energy into school. yes that sounds stupid but im serious. i have always gotten almost perfect grades since elementary school because i focus on school work. put work before anything and until you do your work you can& #39;t do whatever you wish
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟtime management ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
have alotted times for work. when in school and i normally have a 30 minute break or so after school. then begin working and work until i have over half my work done. i won& #39;t take a break or even eat.
also set a date for work you must turn in. for example if you receive a project on the 10th and it& #39;s due the 28th start THE DAY you receive it then slowly work on it. have it completed by the 26th which leaves enough time for revisions and small changes.
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟask for help ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
when in school i would often stay after school for a couple hours with my teachers to get more work done and get subjects i didn& #39;t understand explained to me.
now that we have online school i ask for one on one meets with my teachers to ask questions and get tutoring. these take up time which also helps me extend my fast but also just get my mind of everything ed related
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟnotes ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
i put so much time into planning notes and organizing them. have a notebook for EVERY class and an agenda for planning. i like to color code my notes and add small drawing on the side to make then not boring.
ex.
i& #39;ll draw this ( ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ) to point to important things or make smaller notes on the side.

ﾟ.*･｡ﾟunderstand your limits ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
it& #39;s ok to ask for extensions on work. if you simply explain why you need it (stress or too much other work) you should be able to get more time. most teachers just want you to succeed.
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟthe environment ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
it& #39;s hard for me to work when im not alone and it& #39;s not quiet. i share my room and we have no extra rooms in my house. so i& #39;ll ask to work in my parents room or sneak into my brothers room and sometimes even go outside to work.
also let everyone you live with know you are working or in class so that they are aware.
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟstudy ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
yes actually study. everyday or every few day go over your notes from the past lesson to make sure you understand. ESPECIALLY if it& #39;s in a class you struggle in. before a test take a least three days to study.
this means taking around 30 minutes a day to review a section of material that will be one the test. NOT taking 3 days going over everything again and again this will only stress you out
ﾟ.*･｡ﾟdon& #39;t expect perfection ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
this one is hard for me because i& #39;m a perfectionist and get upset with myself if i get lower than 96. but still it& #39;s important. it& #39;s ok to mess up hare and there and not always get high grades. spend time figuring out what works for you and what you& #39;re satisfied with.
