hey, I too was writing an essay (1400 words) last night and finished
at around 2:30am. Whenever an essay is due, an all-nighter is
practically guaranteed in my case. But this isn't something I enjoy.
In fact, my powers of procrastination are becoming ever stronger-
there was a time when I would start getting stressed at around 7,
because I knew if I started then I probably wouldn't finish till
around 10. Then, giving myself till 11pm, I'd start worrying at 8.
Then, predicting I wasn't gonna be done till around 12, I'd begin to
fret at 9. And so on. I'm at 2:30 now and the madness has just gotta
stop. Any advice? (see how my posts aren't even coherent anymore?)
