Be The First to Submit Your Assignment: 5 Tricks to Write Faster

Published by

Assignments are given to students to heighten their knowledge about a particular topic. Assignments help students guide their learning. Every assignment (a research paper, a math problem, or writing case studies) has a specific purpose and enables learning.

However, finishing an assignment takes time and serious effort. Many students tend to get overwhelmed and procrastinate until the last minute, leading to subpar work that does not meet the reader’s expectations.

With assignment writing services like Ivory Research essay writing service, you can speed up the process and save yourself the headache.

But what do you do when the deadline is near, and you have no option but to get writing (typing)?

This blog post has compiled the best tricks to help you finish your assignment faster.

Set Deadlines for Yourself 

Setting deadlines is a way to challenge yourself to finish a task faster. The shorter the deadlines you give yourself, the faster you can write. Without deadlines, we waste time and save everything for the last moment.

Deadlines act as a motivator to get things done. If you can’t focus, set yourself a timer and write as fast as you can in that said timer. You will be shocked to see how fascinating your brain functions and gets work done.

That being said, do not give yourself unrealistic deadlines. Set timers for tasks you think can be completed precisely in the given time.

Set Up a Comfortable Study Space 

Setting up a perfect study environment allows you to work effectively without distractions. Imagine you are trying to finish your essay while relaxing in your bed or sitting amidst family in the living room. The comfort of the bedroom will make you lazy, and the noise of the living room will not let you focus.

Hence, choose a space with a comfortable table and chair and appropriate lighting to complete your assignment. Based on research, the environment plays a key role in getting work done faster with better quality.

Make sure the lighting is good and does not strain your eyes. Practice the 20-20-20 rule (where you look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds after every 20 minutes) to reduce eye strain.

Do not ignore the ventilation and noise level of your environment. Try to write in a hyper-focused space with limited noise level (some people work better with soft classical background music) and soothing temperature and proper ventilation.

Avoid Any Distraction

Turn off that phone (or simply put it on mute or flight mode). While writing, your mind might get distracted by much more exciting things that are next to you (especially your phone).

If you want to finish your assignment in peace, you must get rid of all distractions. The best thing to do is keep your phone as far as you can from you while you write.

Other distractions might include your friends and family. Instruct them to keep out of your room while you focus on completing your assignment.

Put a “do not disturb” sign outside your door if they are not around. Inform your friends that you won’t be able to hang out for a few hours. It is a very polite way to let them know you are busy.

Get Writing

Get your resources ready:

  1. Do not mix your writing and research time together.
  2. Keep separate time to gather all your resources.
  3. Get writing only when you have everything ready.

This way, you will save time without having to search for everything.

Make an outline

Before you start writing, ensure to draw an outline and follow the skeleton to complete the assignment. Creating an outline saves you time, especially when your planning is done.

Without an outline the whole assignment paper will seem a mess and nothing else. So, take your time and make smart moves by creating an outline for the whole paper.

Make a draft first

Don’t aim for perfectionism from the start. Instead, make your draft essay and focus on improving it. It will gradally comes to you!

Practice Freewriting

The creative block is hitting you? Use the tool Freewriting to overcome this. Set a timer for around 5 to 10 minutes and write non-stop. In this stage do not focus on spellings, grammar, spaces, etc. This technique will spark new ideas and help you overcome writer’s block.

Take Breaks 

Do not forget to take breaks. Writing for a long time can get frustrating, and your mind will get boggled, leading to writer’s block. Without breaks, your mind will get overwhelmed, and you will find yourself stuck in the same place repeatedly without finding the right answer.

Give yourself milestones and take breaks after you finish writing a particular section. Take a break, relax, and return with a fresh mind and better ideas.

Some activities you can do in your break are:

  • Walking
  • Stretching
  • Eating healthy snacks
  • Talking to a close friend or family member

However, you must be cautious when taking these breaks. You do not want to take long breaks that push your deadline by hours. Ensure your breaks are timed.

Take a 5-minute break every 30 minutes. If you feel tired, take a power nap of around 20 minutes. But do not prolong it.

At all costs avoid seeing your phone. Keep the phone away from your reach even during breaks. Using the phone will break the focus of your assignment and push your mind towards unnecessary topics.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget to Reward Yourself

Don’t forget to celebrate yourself. Celebrate those milestones and finished tasks. Reward yourself after you hit the deadlines and finish a task.

This positive reinforcement keeps you motivated throughout your entire assignment writing journey.

Get Writing

Completing an assignment is not such a daunting task as students would say. The only issue lies in the flawed approach. These tricks will help you write faster and better and produce high-quality assignments.

These tips are logical and sure-shot ways to boost your productivity. Follow them and forget the days of procrastination.

So, what are you waiting for? You have got the ideas and now it’s time for smart moves.
