Practical advice for improving efficiency

I enjoyed this and even laughed a bit while listening to this book. I remember not grasping the full significance of the Class Syllabus until after my first quarter of college (I learned the hard way) and wish I'd had that piece of advice and others from the book at the beginning of that journey. The author's Twelve are a very practical set of tools/strategies that will help college students improve their efficiency and maximize their learning during those first years of post secondary learning, where the decreased structure and guidance as compared to high school often leave some students floundering to find their way. Moreover, the author stresses the importance of balance and self care in creating the kind of mind, body, and environment that is most suitable for learning. While I don't think there are ever enough hours of the day to get everything done and remember first feeling that way as I made the transition to college, I do think having learned, understood, and implemented the Twelve at the start of college would have helped me prioritize my time, information, and self care in a way that would have improved productivity without sacrificing sanity. Many of those strategies are applicable even outside of the educational environment. Even as a person nearing her fifties and comfortable in her career, I picked up a thing or two I am implementing in my daily living. The biggest reason I was interested in this book is because I have a son who is a junior in high school. Although the boy is absolutely brilliant (I may be biased), I know this transition to college will be difficult for him. And, in this book, I have found excellent advice to help him better prepare for and get the most out of his first few years of college. Thank you!
