For the likely first time in my life, I decided to banish procrastination by actively planning to write an 8-10 page research paper in 8-10 days last semester. I looked at the calendar to glance at the deadline, then I started writing the paper exactly 10 days before its due date.
Committing to a page a day was a breeze and on the day of submission, I perused the final product one more time to ensure that the content, bibliography, and format of the academic text was in tip-top shape.
So I was more than confident when handing in the labor of sanity to my instructor. I urge all of my fellow academics to do the same. Your life will be much easier and you will enjoy the process of writing an otherwise laborious report. Banish procrastination by planning ahead and sticking to the plan.
