I waste so much time reformatting things and rearranging the wording of sentences. Often when I have a paper due I can't get past the first few sentences because they aren't concise enough for my liking or because one word looks out of place (but doesn't sound it). With a pen and paper I find it easier to keep going once you start.

Does anyone else experience this?
I don't think I have OCD, but this seemed the best place to post.

I'm the same with emails, sometimes text messages. I find myself redrafting messages and wasting a lot of time. Usually I give up on whatever the task is. Leading to pissed off friends and tutors. It's why I hardly ever post.

I've started writing my essays by hand and typing them up but this is a really inefficient use of my time. I'm quite concerned with things being efficient. Do you think this is the only solution. I try not indulge in these things (redrafting etc.) but it happens b4 i realise it.

I'm not gonna proof read this or I will be here all day!

Thanks everyone
