Honestly, diet and exercise help a lot with that. AEB. Always Eat Breakfast. I don't care if you have lunch in 2 hours. I don't care if you're going to be late to class. I don't care if you're X. Always Eat Breakfast. I don't care if you have to eat breakfast, then throw away 90% of your lunch. ALWAYS eat it. -- On the other stuff you can do: Make being prepared into a project. I like going over all the materials, identifying all the techniques I'd have to master (in outline format usually, but some materials are bad, so I reorganize it), then figuring out a way to determine if I can perform the techniques. -- Lastly: Are you sure all the lectures are useful? I always found at least one teacher in a courseload that size to be completely ineffective and it a much better use of time learning the objectives elsewhere and reclaiming those hours.
