I was in your position a week ago. I planned on starting since early summer but made 0 progress and just did some ECs that weren’t canceled and warched tons of movies and tv shows and anime.

When school came around in early August I was swamped with work and found zero time to even get anything past hw done and I kept seeing posts about people finishing or even submitting their common app and got hella discouraged.

Listen man fuck sleep fuck breaks just set harsh ass deadlines for yourself the first couple days unless it’s damaging your mental health. I would finish hw too late and say I might have more time tmrw or Id say I already did this much hw I need a little break and I would waste a whole day.

Just start the second you read my comment and put pen to paper man create whatever incentive you need to start. Because literally if you work on it 3 days consecutively the momentum you get is amazing you’ll WANT to edit and improve it.
