During my whole academic writer career I had to face one phenomenon over
and over again. I call it “slow motion writing”. It’s when you seemingly
accomplish everything you were required to, but at the same time you spend
twice as much time as usually. It’s really confusing and annoying, I remember
it from experience. Fortunately for you, I invented certain methods that help
avoid writing in slow motion, so just read and rememberJ
According to my experience, you get into the “slow motion” writing zone
every time you grow really tired. I’m not even talking about a regular
weariness, I mean the type of fatigue, which adds up with every day when you
didn’t get enough sleep or rest. So the first and undeniable cure is a certain
amount of sleep. Find some time for a rest, never let yourself wear out from
all the work. You can’t do it all and you can’t get all the money in the world,
bear this in mind.
There are some situations, though, when you are short of time and don’t
have time for rest. What I would advise is short regular breaks – 15 minutes
per hour, for example. 15 minutes of an absolute relaxation will help you concentrate
better during the other 45 minutes.
However, there could also be another reason for writing in slow motion.
Such change in working style often occurs due to multiple distractions. You
work hard indeed, but at the same time you cannot stop yourself from checking
e-mail and social networks from time to time. If you find yourself in such
situation, simply store all the materials you need for work on your PC and then
turn off the Internet and work offline. Checked and proved – slow motion will
be over in a minute.
