Procrastinators anonymous for those with FEBRUARY deadlines

[Coleysworth]

Ahoy procrastinators!

My next one is 19th February, how 'bout you?

Well done for the reading and notes. Now get on with that essay plan.

Phew. Submitted.

I always forget that it takes ages to reference and do the sodding bibliography.

Well done wildstrawberry! Have one of these .

well done wsp!

Due in friday, finished making notes on the 4th and penultimate reading, unfortunately last one is a book of 20 essays. So need to pick 2 I think to refer to. But it's sooo dull.
Have a freee tomorrow afternoon so will try and get notes done and then finish write up tomorrow night and wednesday (all morning free in school)
Then I start on planning research interview questions for my next assignment. Not to mention I have to have a drafted plan for the third one for monmday morning. FFS.

How's it going folks?

Prolesworth I do know just what you mean - you kind of get a mental block and feel terribly put off and discouraged. But have you also noticed how once you sit down and start actually writing, sometimes the wind just starts billowing into your sails and you're off? And it only happens when you start, which is why putting off starting can never be good. I'm often mad at myself for not getting on with it sooner.

I quite like Julia Cameron's ideas about creativity and particularly like her thing about saying to providence (god/the cosmos/or insert meaningful belief of your choice here) "I'll take care of the quantity and you take care of the quality". So true for me.

Ilythia - good luck with your write up, hope it is coming together!

Write it up tomorrow in nice quiet dept staff room with coffee machine. Bliss.
