Via the blog of Matt Might, Productivity tips, tricks and hacks for academics. The table of contents for his advice is:
Optimize transaction costs.
Don’t work from home.
Eliminate temptation to waste time.
Salvage dead time with technology.
Get rid of your TV.
Consolidate email accounts.
Work from a laptop.
Use a calendar system.
Power-use a smartphone.
Turn off instant messaging.
Minimize collaboration costs.
Use a citation/paper-management system.
Procrastinate productively.
Iterate toward perfection.
I found most of this helpful for my current experiment in autodidacticism, but you could probably also get good results using it exactly as intended in academia.
