If you are a procrastinator, it’s time to delineate your essay writing plans

well ahead of time to avoid missing any deadline that has been set for

submitting essays. Otherwise your essay may become the worst enemy

you have ever had.

If you’re planning to submit an essay but haven’t yet started writing it, this

post can help you. Here are a few tips especially lined up to assist

procrastinators to make the most of the time left and help them come up

with a valuable and great essay.

Start Now

Today is the time to start, irrespective of your deadline! Days lost cannot

be regained and you cannot bring back today tomorrow! Act today, now’s

the right time to get started. Procrastinators mostly work with a mentality

“there is sufficient time to work on it, and it can wait until the absolute last

minute”. You need to put this notion far from you. Even a small amount of

extra time could make the difference between submitting a piece of work

that’s mediocre and one that’s excellent.

Delineate a Schedule

Prior to starting writing, analyze how to best allocate the time in hand. If

possible, streamline your drafts, take time off for editing and/or third-party

feedback, and give yourself sufficient buffer time prior to submitting your

essay to eliminate any unexpected problems, like technical glitches.

Utilize the technology of calendar program reminders to notify you when

you’ve achieved benchmarks. Planning a schedule will enable you to

track progress and optimize efficiency.

Proper Writing Environment

Whether it’s social networking, your favorite music, television shows,

calls/texts/chats with friends, or something else, there are several things

that you may be doing instead of writing an essay. The essay cannot be

written itself, though, so it is advised to keep these hindrances at bay.

This will make it easier to focus on the essay you have to write by cutting

yourself off from the things that are most likely to distract you. Turn off

your mobile, unplug the wireless router, and do whatever else required

helping you focus without getting disrupted.

Brainstorm and Create a Layout

Many writers, when facing crunch-time, often skip the pre-writing phases

of brainstorming and outlining completely, and jump straight into writing. It

may appear to be saving time, but actually it typically makes the writing

tougher and costs you precious hours in the long run leaving you with a

lower-quality essay. Do take a good chunk of time to brainstorm and

outline, it will help you ward off instances of writer’s block, offering your

writing more focus and cohesiveness, and usually you’ll end up having a

tightly knitted first draft. It will not only save time during the writing

process, but also in later stages when you will revise your piece.

Frequent Breaks

This aspect of writing could be difficult for procrastinators to digest, as

they feel like their decision to start late means that they should work

straight through from start to finish, without any breaks. But in reality

taking breaks will help you improve the product quality and avoid writer’s

block. The break could be from a 15-minute snack break to a complete

afternoon spent with friends; being away from your essay can help you

evaluate what you’ve already written and it will also help you come up

with fresh and innovative ideas. Try this out to hit an unexpected patch of

writer’s block. It will help if you step away from your work and come back

to it a bit later with new ideas.

Involve Another Person

Finally, starting out late can tempt you to simply write and submit your

essay without feedback from anyone else. This could be a great mistake.

Avoid this if at all possible. The earlier you start, the easier it will become

to have someone else go through your piece and provide valuable

comments on your work. You can ask a parent or call in a favor from a

friend. You’ll be delighted you did – visualizing how your essay comes

across to someone, who can help you detect mistakes and ditch trouble

spots prior to getting it submitted for evaluation.
