What's a good way to get into a habit of study?

I've never been one to study, just pay careful attention in class. I want to get into studying since the end of the semester is coming up and colleges will be asking for my grades.

What sort of tasks does a mathematician commonly do in their job?

How much writing and reading are expected?

Sometimes you can't understand what you're reading unless you break it down to annotate, and annotating takes long itself to do. Do all subjects require to do that as well?

How can you manage your time in college?

I'm asking this because college can take up a lot of your personal time. Like will there be a lot of homework everyday for every subject? There will be deadlines around the same time so what can you do to turn it in on time.
