this probably won’t help anyone but if you have adhd too, this is how i write a paper or a piece and usually end up handing it in early or on time without stress:
1. start early, if i know something’s due i start with an outline or a doc with random ideas that pop into my head at least a week before it’s due so i have time to ruminate and work
2. make an outline but by section so if you have all these ideas put them under headers and then put them in an order that will flow well
3. gather your evidence or interviews or notes or whatever it is and then organize those under those headers from before, then put a line above that quote you’re going to use that tells you what exactly you want to use it for so you don’t forget
4. work on whatever section is calling to you first ! i have had trouble trying to work in order from start to finish because once i have an idea i fixate so having those sections will keep you on track but you can skip around and write under them based on what’s calling you
5. then once you have those sections worked on in whatever order, construct transitions and then delete the headers. i also delete the quotes, evidence etc once i copy paste them into my piece so that way i know i’m done and made the point i needed to make
6. write an intro and then a conclusion. it’s much easier to think of them once you’ve written work that you’ve been looking at for a while and have already divided into sections etc., b/c by the end you know your topic argument inside and out
idk what else to add and no one will read this probably but i thought i would share
