I tend to get distracted easily.
I'm the type of person to close her computer at the end of the day only to realize that she had a half-written email she never sent.
I tend to get a bit of everything done, but I struggle to fully complete tasks well.
This situation only worsened last fall when I went back to school part-time and found myself writing essays on a frequent basis.
After four years of writing essays during my undergraduate degree, the one thing I learned was to break up a big task, like writing an essay, into mini, accomplishable tasks and create a schedule for them.
However, I still struggled to keep myself on schedule to complete those mini tasks, compiling research, creating an outline, etc.
I could get organized by breaking it into those smaller tasks, but I still struggle to be productive.
I would constantly feel the urge to get a snack, go to the bathroom, check my blog, check social media...
If there was a distraction available, I would find it.
And while I try to restrain myself and focus on writing my damn essay, I just couldn't bring myself to sit down and do it.
