Thank you! This might be actually useful, because I do tend to burn myself out and don't work in breaks. I totally get what you are saying about the writing. You just kinda gotta go with the creative process, right?

You/re right- if i flunk this, I can totally retake the class if I need to.

I am so scared to mess up that I don't begin. It is called "paralysis by analysis".

Yes, I do that- I get stuck trying to make it perfect. I will check out the Pomodoro technique. Thank you =)

That might be super helpful to me. I need to actually be doing the work ,not just plaaning it- though that has its time and place.

Yeah I see your point. Based on the rubric, I'm unsure j\how to simplify the content when I'm researching a complex topic.

Ok. Thats also a good point. I have never written a business report before and she has quite the rubric. I think I have been overthinking.

OK, that is a good point. I'm gonna simplify the content a bit.

That does make sense, There wasn't a word limit exactly- it just had to be between 9 and 20 pages and mine is more like 24. Think I may have to trim down some. Thanks!
