It's 9 PM. My essay is due at 8 AM tomorrow. I have 2,000 words to write and zero written. This is not the first time this has happened. Probably won't be the last either.
I need a survival guide. Not the "start early and plan ahead" advice that's useless right now. Actual steps for someone with 11 hours and a lot of caffeine.
My plan so far:
I need a survival guide. Not the "start early and plan ahead" advice that's useless right now. Actual steps for someone with 11 hours and a lot of caffeine.
My plan so far:
- Spend 30 minutes finding 5-7 sources (Google Scholar, not Wikipedia)
- Skim them for quotes, save with citations immediately
- Make a basic outline (intro, 3 main points, conclusion)
- Write body paragraphs first (easiest with sources)
- Write introduction last (once I know what I actually argued)
- Write conclusion (just summarize)
- Proofread for 15 minutes
- Submit and sleep
