What are some good study habits high achievers have, also how do high achievers manage their time?

What is your definition of "high achiever"? :)

Looks like I might fit that description then :P

In terms of my study, it was simple: get shit done now or you'll be working much harder later to go where you want to go. Also, I had realistic goals. Now a lot of people say "aim for the stars and you'll land among the clouds" and whatnot, but my reasoning was "clouds aren't stable to land on so ur gonna die anyway". I prefer to aim for something achievable. So when I went out to do say a Spesh SAC, I wasn't aiming for 100%, I was aiming to do the best I could and had a score in my mind I would be pleased with (say 85% or so). To me, it's all about being happy with what you've done. That's how I liked to go about things, kept me chilled and doing alright academically. I'm still pretty chill even today (even though I'm a tight-ass mod mwahahaha) :P

In terms of time management, I kinda went with the flow for a lot of it. Did things I knew had to be done, took breaks when I felt like it, and paced myself accordingly. Everyday I knew a list of "x, y, z" had to be done, so that's what I would do. I would rarely do more than 3 subjects a day though as I didn't find that to be productive + I never liked carrying heavy bags on public transport :P
