How do you start your day?

​My college days started with coffee and a bike ride to class (YAY Florida). 

What is the best way to stay organized on a tight schedule?

I utilized an intense planner and wall calendar combo to stay organized.

What is one organizational item can you not live without?

[See above.]

What do you do to stay focused on your work (i.e. what distractions do you get rid of)?

I didn't use my TV in my room and that helped limit distractions a lot. 

What apps or programs do you use to stay on task?

N/A

What is your advice to someone still in high school?

My advice would be to not stress, but get started early. I finished a lot of college work before the deadline and never had to stress over an all-nighter.
