During my years as a professional tutor, I was often asked if I could boil all my academic guidance down into a quick list of tips. The answer was usually no, since every student who came to me had his own personal struggles.
But I discovered over the years that there was a common thread (or 10) running through most of the academic struggles I witnessed: not enough time studying; overcommitment; self-defeating mindset; bad study habits; etc.
So I finally boiled down my advice into a list of 10 quick tips. Of course, most of this really is common sense -- but sometimes, common sense is just what we need.
