How to increase productivity?

<p>How do some students just get more done in less time? I am a straight A student, but I want to know how to increase my productivity when I'm doing homework. I want to get my school work done in as little time as possible because I have extra-curriculars and have to prepare for SAT, PSAT, SAT II, etc. So for those of you who seem to breeze through schoolwork and still get an A on it, how do you do it? do u simply pay more attention during class? My mind always wanders during class. Or do you just concentrate better than most people?</p>

<p>Haha... if anyone knew the answer, Ivies would be overloaded, no? (Not to say that they don't get enough apps already...)</p>

<p>I believe thousands of psychologists have been trying to "increase productivity" already. </p>

<p>My advice? Focus more, make it interesting, and maybe you'll learn something that applies to you...</p>

<p>One word: efficiency.</p>

<p>i would just take a breath every once in a while...don't try to do everything if it's not physically possible. so many people overload themselves basically because of what they think others want to see that they end up missing out on the best time of their life!!!</p>

<p>chris, scorpio wants to know how to be more efficient, not what it means to be productive...</p>
