Motivation

Hi guys.

I'm writing an essay due in tomorrow. There really isn't much motivation because every time I go to it I just keep thinking what I write sounds shit. It's not terribly important, but I would get in trouble if I didn't hand in a serious attempt at it (according to the manual for the course, I'd be kicked off if I don't submit even one piece of work :s).

It's really quite straightforward, about pricing decisions and how you can use different information (like, cost based approaches, marketing based approaches or whatever). If I was selling an apple I would sell it at the market rate, if I was selling an iPod I'd sell it at the rate people were willing to pay.

Read a few good FT articles and books but still... it's just boooooring. I've done a big plan that takes up a side of A4 so know what I need to write, but every time I start writing I don't like the way a sentence sounds so delete it...

Starting to get a bit apprehensive but the last 2000 word essay I did in 5 hours and did really well. Just wish I was motivated!

    Just keep at it, after some attempts things start to fit together most of the time. When I don't like how my phrases sound I just write them anyway to get the idea across, once that is done I go back and rewrite them later. The important thing is being able to get the ball rolling.

    If not, think of the consequences if you don't get it done, and that should give you a kick up your arse :D

    Yup, write it even with unsatisfactory sentences, at least that way it's done. Then, if you have the time and motivation you can go back and edit it after. Get it done Shyboy!!!!

    Promise yourself something good when you've finished? I have been in this situation myself many a time and can never seem to get down to work until the last possible minute!
