1) Don't get caught up in study group madness. If you find people you work with well, great. But, don't feel like you should be a part of an "official" study group from the outset just because everyone else is joining one, especially if you are used to working independently. Once exams come around, you might be in a better position to judge what you need and who you work well with.

2) If you are like most law students and breezed through undergrad, you might do so once more in law school. However, for some (including myself), the 1L experience required teaching myself study habits that I have not had before. This included getting things started a lot earlier, giving myself more time in general, and scheduling my days a lot more than I was used to. Make sure to reflect on whether old habits are working and adjust accordingly.

3) Use your time strategically. You will reach a point where you simply can't do everything that you are asked to do. Learn to prioritize and plan. Make a schedule and when it's time to move on from one task to the next, move on.
