A Procrastinator's Guide for Faster Essay Writing
The first semester has recently wrapped up for me. One of the biggest challenges I faced this term was the buttload of essays that I had to write. I’m a distant learner. In other words, I attend an Open University where face-to-face instruction and socialization is next to none. Attending an Open University seemed like such a dream for people with hectic schedules and for introverts, that is of course until you realize that when you’re attending an OU, there is also a myriad of temptations that crave your attention. From TV series, movies, books that are completely unrelated to your course — and all these are because you have flexible study hours. One of the greatest gifts of Open uni are professors that post modules and journals which you have to read (answering on weekly discussion forums are completely up to you), and write term papers to be submitted any time within the semester. For those of us who are bonafide procrastinators, this setting would give us ample amount of time to do whatever we want, until we realize that the deadline is looming and we still don’t have one paper written. #Procrastination.
