Don’t Panic
First
things first, you should not panic or stress because these two things
can severely hamper your productivity and that is something you just
cannot afford right now. Stressing can seriously block your mind and you
might just end up exerting yourself even more and end up with the less
satisfactory output. Instead, relax, take a few deep breaths, and after
taking very little time to think about what you are going to write,
start writing. You need to ensure that whatever remaining time you have,
you dedicate to writing. Not panicking is very important, although many
procrastinators are waiting for that final surge of anxiety and stress
to really boost their productivity, if you are not a trained
procrastinator do not let your stress ruin this for you. You still have a
shot, you just need to make the most of every minute that is left.
Do The Math, And Stick To It
You
have 5 hours to write, 5000 words, and then you should be writing 1000
words per hour if you are ever going to be able to finish it on time.
And in order to write 1000 words per hour, you should be writing 16 to
17 words per minute, see that’s not hard at all. You just have to really
focus on the issue at hand and start writing as fast you can. Remember
your typing speed is probably more than 16 words per minute, so you’ve
got this. Don’t panic, you did the math and it says that you can do
this. If you were smart enough to argue with Maths, you really wouldn’t
have been in this situation in the first place.
Gather Your Stuff In One Place
Take
all the stuff you might need from snacks and beverages to pencils and
stationary, anything you might need to get through 5 hours of intense
writing. You should take it all to your preferred place of work or your
work station. A good environment for working is very important at this
point, and in order to risk straying everything in one place will keep
you focused. This also means that you should gather all the information
and research you have done in one place so that you do not have to go
back and forth between various programs. We also suggest adding all the
relevant tidbits on to one document to avoid that fear of writing on a
blank document.
Minimize Distractions
Our
phones are the most time consuming wasteful things on us, so make sure
to leave your phone in a different room or switch it off completely, and
maybe use it as a reward for yourself. If you must, turn off the
internet or delete apps from your phone to guarantee productivity. You
cannot take chances at the moment, and wasting time is not something you
can afford, so leave all your distractions in another room and cut
yourself off from the world for those five hours.
Run Like The Wind
When
writing, write in flow and don’t look back. Don’t format as you go,
focus on meeting your word count first, and then when you are done
writing, go back and review. If you try to review as you go along, it
will take you longer to meet your word count, and you might become too
fatigued to complete your work. So, just go on writing without looking
back, and review only when you have met the word count.
Voice Typing Might Help
Every
laptop and computer has a voice typing feature that is actually meant
for disabled people, but you can use it too. If you get too tired of
typing and need to take a walk or stand up, your eyes have started
tearing up by looking at the screen for too long, turn on your voice
typing feature and dictate what you want to add to your thesis. Voice
typing requires some practice, so if you haven’t had the chances to
figure it out, don’t waste your time on it. However, it would serve you
well to have voice typing set up for future needs.
Conclusion
Procrastinating
is really not as rare as you’d think so stop beating yourself up about
why you are like this. It is what it is. And while asking writing
services to “write an essay for me”
that is 5000 word long is perfectly acceptable. If you must do it all
yourself, then here are some tips that might help. Panicking will ruin
everything, so don’t panic, instead, calm yourself by calculating how
much you can do in the remaining time left. Gathering all your stuff in
one place and minimizing distractions is another way to guarantee you
can complete your work on time and reduce wastage of time. Focus on
meeting the word count first and use voice typing if you get too tired
or stressed.
