'I'm inefficient! I lose things, miss deadlines, etc'

Do you have a diary or schedule into which you write all deadlines?
Have you followed guidance in Time management on this web site?
Do you have a suitable place to study and store your materials?
Do you need to set aside some time for organising your resources? Gather notes into files and folders. Store them - labelled and in a logical sequence - so that they're readily accessible.
For more on this, see What to do with your notes in 'Making notes'.
Once you've organised everything, you could set aside an hour a week for filing and sorting, so that you keep on top of things.
