Maybe give yourself short breaks after every mini goal you reach, so once you hit 1200 words maybe take a break and watch a show or work on music or something enjoyable to you. Then get back to it afterward. That’s usually what helped me when I was in college and had large essays and papers to complete in a deadline

I think the hardest part about things like that is just getting started. The more you think about it the more one is likely to procrastinate and put it off. So I just try to jump in on things like that even if I feel like I won’t finish or it won’t be perfect or I don’t feel up to it at the moment

Thanks Blue_Bird, that really helps! I think I'll try to just get started today and see where that gets me, and yeah taking breaks is a great idea as well after each mini goal is reached.
