So you procrastinated (welcome to the club), and now the deadline is basically punching you in the face. No time to spiral — here’s the fastest way to get it done:
1️⃣ Forget deep research — use what you already know and grab 2–3 quick, credible sources (Google Scholar, the refs on Wikipedia, ChatGPT for structure).
2️⃣ Make a 5-minute outline — thesis + three points. That’s it.
3️⃣ Write the body first — intros and conclusions take forever, save them for last.
4️⃣ Don’t chase perfection — dump the ideas on the page, clean it up later.
5️⃣ Stick to the classic format if your brain is fried: hook → thesis → argument → evidence → conclusion.
🔥 Pro tip: Do 25-minute focus sprints (Pomodoro). It legit feels like cheating when the clock is killing you.
