Article in English: Even though it's tempting to text or sleep during class, especially when there's a lecture, don't do it. There are two benefits to this: first, you'll eliminate time spent at home learning the information from scratch and you'll do better on tests because you'll know exactly what the teacher wants you to know. Paying attention is key. As you're writing, actually think about what your teacher is saying and put your notes in your own words. If you can, think of something funny to remember them (called a mnemonic). Homework will likely make up the easiest points you will earn all year. That doesn't mean you need to spend hours every night; try utilizing the time at the end of classes.  Tackle one assignment at a time. Your first section should be worksheets as they take the least amount of time. Then you should do any homework that is broken down into independent parts, such as math. That way you can work for a few minutes at the end of various classes without wasting time finding your place. Eliminate distractions. When you really don't feel like doing homework, but need to, get rid of things that normally divide your attention. Turn off the TV. Put your phone in another room. Log off your social media. Lock yourself in a room. Do the work that you know will be read in depth first, and do a good job so you can build trust with that teacher. Then do all of the work that might not be checked so closely and don't worry so much about the quality; just make sure your writing is on topic and looks lengthy and detailed. If you begin to run out of time with just a few unimportant assignments to do, work quickly through them all making sure to complete them all. Teachers value effort greatly and will appreciate it if you do your homework and the easiest way to an A is to make your teacher happy. Compartmentalize the tasks needed to complete the assignment. Read the assignment. Conduct the necessary research. Outline your paper. Write your paper. Edit your paper.  Don't spend too much time thinking about what you are...
