I'm attempting to write a 5 page paper I procrastinated for a month in about 5 hours, can I do it /r9k/?
I've already had about 4 cups of coffee so I'm awake as fuckI wrote my last paper in 3 hours before class and got an A+
I'm going to give you actual helpful advice that will benefit you in the future OP
OP, you need to learn your priorities in life. You need to apply yourself and work on finishing things early.
For instance, I worked extremely far ahead in one of my courses. I've basically done all the work up until the end of the semester. That class now has no influence on my life and I can focus on other things.
OP I wish you the best in life. Focus more. Apply yourself.

I know, procrastination is a hell of a drug to try and shake off though
Update my dudes, I'm on a page and a half right now and it's been about an hour. I think I might actually do this.
Also fuck introduction paragraphs

if you know what you're writing about you can do much better than a page per hour. that being said, i'm in a humanities program in graduate school so writing academic essays is pretty much my only life skill.
the trick to cranking out a paper really fast is to know essentially what you're gonna do ahead of time. usually before i write any kind of paper i'll think:
>what am i gonna write about
>what's my argument (i.e. what will i prove through writing this paper)
>what evidence can/will i use to support this argument
then i sorta turn over that in my head for a while. like, how would that evidence be best arranged in order to logically support my thesis?
if i were gonna make this as a post on 4chan, how would i need to write it such that a dedicated shitposter whose sole aim is to prove me wrong would have no argumentative ground to stand on?
so once i've worked through the problem/solution in my head, i've just gotta sit down and write the thing. again, as long as you've already done the mental legwork of figuring out what you're gonna say and how you're gonna justify it, the only thing that's left for you to do is sit down and record thoughts you have already had. how hard can that be?
1 page per hour would suggest that i was struggling immensely with some aspect of the paper.

Literally wrote a 3 page paper in response to a letter MLK wrote in an hour before class and got 100%. If your class isn't a high level class, it'll be easy as fuck
Fuck around and fail. If you do this shit in a year or two when you are studying your major? You will fuck yourself.

Something as simple as a loosely ordered plan can do wonders in making the writing process smoother.

But I only procrastinate papers, I do study for my major classes weeks in advance of tests

200 words is like 4 hours of work dude. You could do it in a day
>>35729073
I'm horrible at organizing my thoughts into coherent words, 1 page per hour is about average plus about an hour to meticulously edit it.

Yes.
>>35727956
Did you finish it?
Oregano.

If you can't write 200 words in a month you should honestly just consider living on disability
