Everyone has said a lift (which is true) but a few more tips.
Use a corded drill with a drywall setter bit or a drywall specific screwgun type drill.
A cordless works and I will use it to get a few in a sheet but prefer a corded drill when finishing up.
Stagger sheets because very long seams are difficult to hide completely.
Use a good razor knife (I prefer Lenox Gold) and an aluminum t-square. If you are cutting alone, a stop lock hand clamp can be helpful to ensure the square stays in place. If you have to make really long cuts buy a piece of aluminum angle to use as your cutting guide and secure with clamps.
If you are doing wall sheets, a pocket kicker is helpful for snugging the sheet flush to eliminate large gaps.
If you have to cut out a significant number of boxes, magnetic guides are great. I prefer to use a Rotozip (spiral saw) for all cut outs.
Milwaukee makes a great jab saw that uses Sawzall blades. It's nice because you can use high tooth count blades for cleaner cuts than a standard jab saw.
Use a drywall rasp for cleaning up rough cuts and for taking off high points.
