I have 2 very difficult courses next semester and both include lab components, (one of them is Org Chem), 2 very easy courses, and one that is going to be a special challenge b/c the prof apparently tests off her extremely disorganized and quick lectures only, which makes studying difficult.

I would have to say its about time management, focus and concentration and lastly effective study skills.
I'm sure you've seen students that have extremely busy schedules and yet they have the time for social activities, sports etc...
Learn to manage your time effectively. Most students tend to procrastinate. To excel as a student, you really have to defeat procrastination.
Focus and concentration. Are you the kind of student that can sit down, focus and concentrate and finish that task in one seating? I realized most top students have such a characteristic. Laser sharp focus and concentration!
Effective study skills. This is where study smart and hard comes in. Learning to study effectively makes you study smart. Most students tend to fall back to the path of hard work to get things done. That's making life difficult.
