Need motivation!!

[gigglewiggle]

I have 2 biology essays each 1500 words, 1 psychology essay, an english essay and revision for algebra..all to do this weekend! i cant get into it..im staring at a blank screen! Any tips to get me going?

I find not being on mumsnet helps me get some work done

but then I'm a hypocrite because I should be writing my sociology essay.

get yourself a cup of tea/coffee and a kitchen timer.

Set timer for 20 minutes. Pull out books and start working. Even if you find you can't write anything don't do anything else till timer goes off.

Then do something else for 10 minutes (not work related). Set to timer also.

Then repeat until finished or gone insane.

Writing detailed essay plans I find sometimes helps if you can't get started. Write down the title. Then the main points you want to cover and then keep breaking it down into smaller and smaller chunks till eventually it is written.

When you finish one piece allow yourself a treat and then start on the next.

(Says she with her own pile of work to do while hanging around on mn).

Do the easiest/favourite work first. That will get you started and then just pick them off one by one. And get off here!!

what are your essays about? If they are anything that I have covered previously i would email them to you for pointers etc( not saying that they are good, but sometimes it helps to gather info from other essays)

You have my sympathy. i also need motivation to do my essay. gotta read 2/3rds of a textbook then write 1500 words by tomorrow night and i cant be arsed at all!! Well, good luck!!

lol well ive managed to do the english one and thats it so far! The psychology on is on stress and the biology are on cell organelles and plasma membrane! Yawn!

Ive been up since 4.15 to get these done..gonna be knackered tomorrow!!

4.15 . Have you managed to get much done gigglewiggle?

Im getting there...i am never going to leave things to build up ever again

I just couldnt sleep last night worrying about it! I managed to get in and hand in my english and first biology at 9am so feel less stressed now!

Why oh why do we put ourselves through this education lark lol

Sounds like you're doing well gigglewiggle. We got told today that we have an exam tomorrow Looks like I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight
