4. Write down your homework for each class
Writing your homework down every day is a great way to stay organized. It’s a lot easier to just write it down rather than trying to remember what you did in each class, chances are you won’t be able to remember everything. Writing it in your phone is always good too!
5. Always do your homework and study!

If you’re in sports and you know you’re going to have a lot of homework the day of a practice, plan ahead! Make yourself a time schedule just for you. You know what you need to get done before a certain time so get all your work done before you go out instead of worrying about it later.
8. Get enough sleep
Try to get at least 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Don’t stay up too late texting or watching Netflix, you’ll regret it in the morning and wish you went to sleep earlier. Not getting enough sleep can cause you to fall asleep in class and get you off track.
9. Eat a good breakfast every morning
