-Listen to good, non-distracting music with headphones in. (classical??)
-Find a good, calming place to work in (a bedroom, the library, a park away from loud roads, a coffee shop, etc)
-Don't overstudy (Overworking your brain and losing sleep kills your progress)
-Bring a healthy snack and water (or an energy drink)
-Get the hard stuff done first
-Talk to your teacher or professor if you need study help
-Go to a study group with friends if that's what you prefer to studying alone
-No, doing homework does not count as studying. Studying the homework after you finish it counts as studying.
-Don't procrastinate. Set aside a specific time in a week or a day to study. (This is the one I struggle with the most besides sleep due to my ADHD)

That's all I got. Good luck man.
