Use all the skills there are. That's the only way to level-up to 81.

What he said.
I`m at level 75 and only have 5 skills left that I can increase with pickpocket the lowest at 39 skill.

yeah I guess getting to Lv. 81 means you have to betray your characters build/type/story. So... If you were not interested in getting to 81 then its possible you would just stay at a certain level for ever if you didnt intend on using skills your character would never do.
Example. You Mage levelling slows down at level 60. the only way to keep boosting is to use 2-handed axes and heavy armour which technically your character would NEVER do.

Yeah. But at level 50, the enemies stop scaling with you. (Purely speculation at this point.)

Is that all you got?!
I'm almost afraid to ask because I hate any form of cheating, but what is the Oghma Infinium glitch? When I read the book it just disappears after choosing what to have increased...so I'm confused as to how that works exactly...

yes , i switched from destruction battlemage to a primarily conjuration/illusionist after level 50 to help progression and now I`ve started to pickpocket bandits even though I never considered myself a cheap crook and have over 700 thou septim.
I for one am looking forward to doing some of the major quest lines as a level 81 god-like character who can simply choose not to use abilities that don`t fit his character.
Plans are to get to lvl 81 , then resume main quest with Diplomatic Immunity and when completed , join the Stormcloaks , and finally the Companions.
That still leaves siding with the Empire , the DB , and Thieve`s guild for my next more evil character.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME !
Basically the oghma infinaum glitch let's you use the book multiple times. You could theoretically get to level 15 to do the quest, get the book and go straight to level 81.
It works cause the book takes 1 whole second to leave your inventory, so in that second you can drop it so you can read it again later.
There's a certain technique to it using a bookshelf but I've not done it myself yet. It sits in my house waiting for me!

I had slowed down considerably in my 3 combat skills (all at 80) to discover it was because my weapons were too good for my own good !
Turns out that skill gain xp points are given for the BASE damage only for each hit.
Because I was one or two shotting my foes with smithing improved /double enchanted steel , I was getting less xp per kill than just using an ordinary unimproved weapon like an ebony mace(s) or daedric warhammer/bow.
Let`s face it , you are practically invulnerable by the end-game so you can afford to take some shots while whittling down your opponent resulting in more xp gain per enemy`s hp lost. You can always use a shout or magic if they really start to hurt you.

my guy right now is level 55, and is an all around mage. at this point im at 100 in all magic but restoration. im also part stealth, and my speech and sneak are around 90. at this point ive had to start using different skills than my build is made for. the one ive been doing a bit of recently is two handed, since i LOVE whacking the crap outta people with volendrung.

One way of boosting your non-maxed skills would be to activate the right Guardian Stone (or the Lover Stone), and combining it with the Well Rested perk. Not the fastest way, but better than nothing.

Open a bookshelf as if you were putting the oghma infinium on the shelf, before putting it there, read the book, then, without closing the inventory, put the book on the shelf, close the inventory, take the book off the shelf(do not read it), rinse and repeat as desired.
i believe that exploit no longer works. ive read about a new way to do it that is much more involved. it actually copies the book so you dont keep it it makes a second one. im not sure how it works since the only time i ever did it was a few months ago when the above method worked like a charm
