of Some the challenges that might come up when writing a paper are time, distraction, and procrastination. Time goes with procrastination but it can be that you just did not plan according to the paper. The writer might have thought that it would take four hours to write a paper but it took eight hours to write the paper. If the writer procrastinated till the last day and misjudged the amount of time it would take to write the paper it might be late turning the paper in. Procrastination is the hardest challenge that might arise when writing a paper. The writer just keeps telling themselves that it can just be done later. Something always comes up that the writer might think is more important to do then write the paper. Distractions is a challenge that well slow down the paper getting done. Some writers can adjust to distractions really easy, in the same a writer might slow way down when a lot of distraction come up. Distractions can be kids, T.V., and spouses. All three of these challenges can make writing a paper a real pain. To become a better writer these three challenges will need to be overcome to make a better paper. One of the strategies overcome to the challenges in writing a paper is make a weekly schedule. With a weekly schedule it will show the writer on what day and time it should be written. A weekly schedule can help with time and procrastination. The writer can also schedule extra time to make sure they have plenty of time to write a great paper. With distractions the writer can leave and go to the library or a quiet place. If kids are the distractions the writer can use the weekly schedule to plan on doing the paper when the kids in school, bed, or outside playing. To get rid of distractions might be just as easy as moving to a different location. To overcome the challenge of procrastination can be a lot harder than any other challenge to overcome. Being organized does help with overcome procrastination. If the writer has everything that they need to write the paper in an easy to get to location makes it harder to procrastination. Will power is the best think to overcome procrastination. The writer just needs to tell themselves that the paper needs to be done. Sometimes it might just take encouragement from a love one to get them started on writing the paper.
