‘ENOUGH’- The importance of limit-setting for writing
“(…) limit-setting means learning to . . .
1. Start writing before you may feel you’re ready.
2. Finish writing before you may feel you’re ready.
3. Know when you’ve done enough with your writing project.
Knowing when you’ve done enough or that you can begin without over-preparation is a critical skill in writing efficiently and painlessly. Without this kind of knowing, writing problems loom at the ready. Without limit-setting, professors expose themselves to an especially insidious kind of stress–of never being able to leave campus feeling they’ve done enough.”
