The best tip I ever got on time management in college was from a professor who believed that if you just listen in class -- really listen instead of being there and spacing out every minute or two -- the time you spend working out of class will be cut by 90 percent. And it's true; the trick is just to get interested enough in the subject that you can keep yourself listening for extended periods of time. Learning the material from an expert, good teacher is exponentially more efficient than learning it yourself, in most cases. (Bad teachers excepted.)
