How to Avoid Procrastination in Writing and
Completing Essays ??
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.
Synopsis
Writing an essay requires a lot of effort, planning, and most importantly
ample time to make it a hit. Do follow the above stated tips if you are a
procrastinator and watch the results.
