it's taking too long

[LazyHermitCrab]

I do everything so slowly. I have a 3 page paper to finish today and it's taken me all day. I keep getting distracting thoughts like looking things up and making sure everything's okay. Also I've been watching Netflix too much. I know this is bad so why can't I stop? I know many people here graduated college it's just so hard to focus.

That's procrastination, for you. Or depression sapping the natural flow of thoughts, depending.

If you can, break it up into tasks:
1) The raw thoughts, topics, and points you want to make
2) Check facts, sources, and citations
3) Re-organize so that it makes sense and trim parts that don't add anything
4) Go over the grammar, punctuation, and formatting requirements
