elphaba-in-the-tardis: jewishdragon: peachdoxie: deciduqueen: Tips for writing an essay with executive dysfunction: do this. Write out bits and pieces of the essay. When you get to a part you can’t/”don’t want to” write, put it in bold brackets. Get as much done as you can and come back in a half an hour or so! If the executive function is still bothering you, take it one bracket at a time. Don’t delete the bracket until you’re done “filling it in,” so to speak. If you need to take more breaks or hop to the next bracket, you can do that too! Similarly, if you have a thought you want to get down but you aren’t sure how to word it, put it in bold brackets as well! It may not “cure” the executive dysfunction or procrastination problems, but it makes writing the essay more like putting shapes in holes of the same shape. It can be a pain, but the process is a bit more streamlined and user-friendly. I know this may not work for everyone, but as someone who has really bad executive dysfunction and problems focusing (thank you, ADHD!) this works REALLY well for me! I hope by sharing it it can help other people (with and without executive dysfunction/adhd) too! o/ This strategy also works for individual words as well. Not sure what works to put? In its place, put a bracket and fill it in. I often use a synonym of the word I want to go there because it helps me know what to fill in later, but there have also been times when I’ve just put [word] to signify that I know some word needs to go there, but I’m not sure what at the moment. To make sure that you’ve cleared all the brackets before turning in your assignment, you can use the search function and just type a single bracket in. Once your search returns no brackets, you know that it’s ready! I do this ALL THE TIME This is literally how I wrote my thesis and basically every paper in grad school. And a few fanfics. It works. -- source link
