I have a chapter draft due this week and it is just a complete mess. I've had two months to do just this, and yet I don't seem to have much to show for it. Out of laziness I seem to have flagged up massive issues/ideas, and then moved on because I'm not sure how to support what I'm saying!
My motivation has dwindled, to the point where I'll open the Word Document and then just close it again because I feel so stressed. I've been staying up until about 4am because I can't seem to do any work in the day, and then at about 1am I get the fear and think 'I better do some work!'
I used to work in pomodoros (or maybe you know it as 'my tomatoes'?), but can't seem to do that when I'm actually writing an essay (my PhD is in the humanities, and I spend ages reworking sentences to increase the clarity of my argument, having a ticking sound in the background does NOT help!).
I don't know how I'm going to get this chapter up to scratch in time, and feel like my sup is going to be disappointed.
Why do I always leave it to the last minute?!
