Advice for New Consultant?

Hey all.

So, almost a year after my graduation with a B.S. in Enviro Sci, I have landed my first full-time position with a local consulting company doing CEQA and air quality monitoring. Super excited to finally put my degree to use, and I love my coworkers (I think), but I am getting quite anxious as the start date quickly approaches. They have told me numerous times during the interview process that it is a steep learning curve and that I need to be ready to be bad, but I want to be as prepared for success as possible. Do y'all have any good advice for consulting or even office job lifestyle advice? It is a lot of typing, so I am currently training my typing skills. I am also trying to get into the habit of tracking tasks more diligently, as I am sure this will become a major part of my new work. Finally, I know I need to get my sleep schedule in check. No more 3 AM gaming nights for me, haha. Thanks, y'all.
