Infinite Weight Limit

Like in Fallout, containers are persistent and items do not disappear. So any barrel or box or chest of some sort can be used to store your items. Best to use containers near a quick travel loading location. Be careful, though. Skyrim is buggy, so while your items shouldn't disappear when placed in a random barrel or chest, there's no guarantee unless you purchase a house and store your items there.

Max Out Sneak Skill Early

There's a couple ways of doing this and they're essentially the same.

1. Right after the "prologue" part of the game there's a mine called Embershard Mine and it's filled with bandits.  Dispatch the two in the first chamber of the mine and move on into a short tunnel.  Lower the bridge by pulling a nearby switch (explore along the tunnel on the far wall from the entrance).  Continue through the next few rooms until you come to an area with a bandit in a sort of pit, the pit has a forge in it so look for that if you're confused.  Destroy the bandit in the pit and you should attract the attention of the guard on the bridge, she'll start shooting arrows at you. Hide about half way down the bridge in the shadows and just keep walking into the wall (while sneaking of course).  You're skill will level as you go.

2. Make it to White Run and turn east.  Head toward the mountain until you find White River Watch, kill the two bandits outside and enter. The blind guy inside will ask if you're Ralph, just say yes, and proceed like before, walking into the wall in the shadows.

The important part about this is that these guys don't move or move very little so you can do it forever.  You can even rubber band your controller.

Quick Smithing and Speech Levels

Whenever you stop at a forge be sure to talk to the person in charge of it and buy all the iron ingot and leather or leather strips off of them. Then make as many leather strips as it takes for each iron ingot. Take it to the forge and make an iron dagger than only take 1 of each ingredient to make one. If you sell it back to the merchant, sell it one by one so you create more transactions to level up the speech ability.

Quick Experience and Illusion Skill Gain

While most spells require you to actively use them in combat situations or on specific objects to progress, there is at least one spell that doesn't: Muffle. Muffle is an Illusion spell that quiets your movements. Continually casting Muffle while you're walking around the land will not only boost your Illusion skill, but will also increase your overall experience.

How to Climb Mountains (aka Backwards Butt Shimmy)

Invariably you get to a point when you're climbing a mountain off set paths where you can't progress forward any longer because the grade is too steep. If you hit that point, simply face backwards and start jumping. Just point your butt toward the peak and continually hit the jump button. It also helps to move slightly from side-to-side as you try this. You can often snag a rock along the way and shimmy up a mountain without having to use a set path. Sometimes facing forward at a 45-degree angle helps, as well.
