Jumbled Essay Thoughts

Some days life seems dandy and you know exactly what you want and where you want to go.
Other days can only be represented by a scribble.

Today is a scribble day.

As the years go by, I find it more and more difficult to focus on whatever it is I need to get done. Nowadays, there are too many distractions-- friends, the internet, life passing by my window... It's hard to just let things go by without wanting a taste of it all.

More and more often I find my thoughts jumbled up in a giant scribble, and to some extent it really does help to jot all of it down. Only when I "word vomit" can I truly organize my ideas and edit them to become sound and valid... Which brings me to my 4 page sociology paper I need to write tonight.

This scribble? Yeah. Those are my thoughts for my essay. Disorganized. Confusing. Heck I don't even know what I'm going to argue really until I write it down. So in my effort to stop procrastinating... Here's some advice for myself:

1. Stop complaining and just do it. I'd say 90% of the pain and anxiety is thinking about what is to come rather than the action of doing it itself.
2. Don't be afraid of a blank piece of paper. Just start filling it up with words. Good thoughts, bad thoughts? It doesn't even matter. Point is, get your ideas down first, and then organize them. Don't overestimate your ability to write a clear and concise essay without revising.
3. Breaks MUST BE CONTROLLED AT ALL COST. I know myself. I know breaks are good. I know my lack of self control makes my over-indulged relaxation bad.

Let's get to work.
