Learn how to manage your time well

Many law students become stressed and overwhelmed because they do not take control over their time from day one of classes. Flying by the seat of ones pants worked well for most students prior to law school. It is the road to self destruction and mediocre grades in law school. Set up time blocks on a weekly schedule for completing all tasks regularly reading for each course, reviewing the material again before class, reviewing class notes within 24 hours to fill in gaps and condense, outlining weekly, reviewing outlines, doing practice problems, working on papers or other assignments.
