To ask for a kick up the arse

[SpicedGirl]

MA assignment due thurs Dh has kids today so I can do it still got 1000 words to write, don’t understand it and the more I read the less it get any of it.
Today I’ve written1 sentence

Set a timer. 10 mins. Write as much as you can in that time. Doesnt have to make sense. Just needs to be out of your head. Ignore spelling and grammar and just type. If you are still in the zone then keep going.

Then make tea and eat cake

Then look at what you've written and change what's needed.

What's the assignment- can we help start you off?

Define Governance and identify a governance challenge analyse the problem using relevant framework providing case study.
I need to do 1000 wds on gov definition and the just a plan for the gov challenge and case study.

I emailed the lecturer to say I was struggling but they haven’t been able to help much I just need to actually do it urgghhh why have I chosen to do this to myself

Ok - define governance, this as a starting point https://www.gdrc.org/u-gov/governance-understand.html

Any use?

Or this? https://iog.ca/what-is-governance/

Last one mentions governance challenges

Most universities have some kind of writing and Learning Centre or writing skills centre that can help you.

Governance specialist here! It's very hard to define but there must be standard definitions in your textbook that you can compare and critique. For me (private company) it's about regulating our activities and ensuring clear accountability.

A good challenge would be how to deal with the current charity/prostitution scandal. How should company policies drive and enforce behaviours of people - especially outside working hours?

When I'm struggling to start writing something, I get a pad of post it notes and plonk one idea I've airways got per post it. Then I get additional information from research- online, texts, journals etc and plonk page numbers etc onto different coloured post it's. Then I might group post it's together with related points/info and this starts to form a paragraph plan. Then I type what I've got up and begin joining the dots. Might working in this way help you get going?

airways = already

I drink wine. Write it. Then edit sober.

Thank you all you’re all lovely
Dh has taken youngest out but 5 yo sat next to me and very hyper

So will try and push through if I actually get some words on paper this afternoon I will reward myself with 🍷🍷tonight but only if I get something done!

Plan it out with headings. Take one source and fill in what you can (don't forget to reference), then add to it with a different source and so in. That way you'll have something to add to or pull apart.

theoretical frameworks in public administration - anyone? would multilevel and networked governance count as frameworks?
I done my headings and words amounts needed for each section now just finished my 4th coffee and waiting for dh to arrive home to resume child entertainment arrangements so all I need to do now is actually do it....easy right urghghh
