...and unfortunately I'm not as far as i ought to be.

I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about how to structure the assignment etc. but I just can't get to do the writing.

Any advice on how to get started?

Get off 4chan for starters.

But since you're here, let me share how I'm also terribly easily distracted and also having a hard time getting motivated...

If it helps, find some nice music to help you concentrate. Some may prefer silence instead, which may be easier to "aquire". In any case, don't waste too much time finding some. Not too catchy and no lyrics to sing along to. Tron legacy OST has done me well lately, but that's my taste.
Then try and turn off your sources of distraction. Internet, cellphone, etc.. If you know you spend too much time on it, turn it off.

The overall goal may be overwhelming, so break your goal into "bite-sized" pieces. Make a list of things you'll need to complete, and cross them off every time you've completed them.

Now the important part. Just write.
The primary source of all writers block is the sensation of being overwhelmed by too much stuff that you have to do. Doing it hard and furious you'd rather not do it at all.
Instead, try doing it slowly... Or badly. Do it comically bad.
The irony is that you actually write something instead of nothing. And you can always correct and improve what you've already written. So just do it badly, at least if it helps you start.

Once you're in "the flow" you'll find your work self-motivating. And then don't stop. Finish whatever part you're working on. Remember, having unfinished work is more fatiguing than finishing it.

What I do is make an outline with each bullet point being a main topic to address. Then under that list all the paragraphs for that topic you will have. Then for each of those list any quotes or sources you will use.

Then make a really rough draft of each paragraph using the outline as a guide. It's important to have something written, no matter how shitty. It is 10x easier to polish something than to do it from scratch.

Mine doesn't have a "thesis" per se, but the final course in our program requires a 15-20 page research paper. Might as well be a thesis desu senpai.

Not OP, btw.

Yeah, that's what mine had. Wasn't so bad honestly. It was a fun course. Last day we handed in our papers and went to a local Mexican food place. Professor bought us each a beer and got us a bunch of chips and salsa.

Write something that's wrong, then go back and clarify it.

Back in college I would just get high before all my papers. Then when I was sober I would go back and fix all the grammer mistakes and make it flow a bit better. Some take adderall
