If you've been writing essays for the majority of your school year and you've just got yet another assignment, then you may be tempted to just give up and let this one slide by.
After all, there's only so much that any one person can write and for some this threshold is quite quickly reached.
However, you do still need to complete the assignment it is better to do so with a friend of mine that you want to rather than you have to, as you will find that it goes and flows that much better.
Something to think about of course is that there are ways you can get motivated to begin writing the essay.
Although motivation may be hard to find especially if the topic that you need to write on something that does not interest you, one way that you can begin writing the essay is to pick a small portion of the overall assignment for one day and get it done and then reward yourself in some fashion.
Consider for a moment that there's no real expectation as to how much you do.
For instance, once you've got your research together you could simply write your introductory statement.
That would be your goal for the day and you can then reward yourself with going out for dinner for instance.
Another way to start writing the essay quickly is to make a hobby of yours a reward for getting a particular portion of the work done.
For instance, if you plan band it is something that you love, then one way to get motivated is to make an agreement with yourself that you will not go and play until you have done the next three pages of your paper.
Not only will this help you get it done quicke,,  you'll be motivated to get it done properly as well.
One final tip to consider when looking for ways to begin writing the essay is to allow yourself to feel that you don't want to do it and then take the first step and do one thing with the promise that if you don't want to do anything else you don't have to.
Often time taking one step or one action will prompt you to do more even though you've allowed yourself not to.
