This is my story. I am a veteran in the classrooms. I’ve been going to University since age 15 and I am now at the ripe age of 24. I’ve collected both undergraduate and graduate degrees. 9 years of non-stop school.
I work very efficiently under pressure, I’ve been always like that. My last two big papers (B. Eng. and MA Eng.) were challenges that I accomplished under alot of pressure and very, very strict deadlines. The stress was almost unbearable, and both times I’ve ended up staying awake for 3 or 4 days straight and then recovering for a week afterwards, often having nightmares about writing a paper and defending it.
As bad as it sounds, it seems that pressure is a way to make me do things. But I really don’t wanna put myself in a situation like that ever again.
This time there is virtually no pressure and no deadlines (it’s actually something crazy like September 2006 and I could easily extend it) and I have only 3 credits left to finish it, I am ALMOST DONE.
Nevertheless, I’ve spent over 4 months “working” on them already, with little progress.
I get distracted easily. :(
If it keeps going this way, I am gonna end up very stressed in september, struggling to finish the paper. It’s happened before.
I need to develop an effective method to get me to do the research in a non-stressing, steady, and why not, FUN way. I have the time to prepare, I’ve got the tools. All I need is good advise to polish my organizational skills.
I need help.
