One of my go-to tips for students is the 3-5 approach. Whether it's things to do, steps towards the whole, starting point of resources - I love it. Sure, you may (likely will) need to break stuff into 3-5 again, and again and again as you get to nitty gritty. But at the start point, just 3-5 will do. After all, writing has a beginning middle and end (3!) and if you break the middle into themes/aspects chances are that's a 3-5 too!

Omg yes, I never thought of it in terms of essay writing—but it makes so much sense!

This article resonates with me at the moment. In four weeks, I will be moving back to Australia after six years in the US. As someone who usually procrastinates until the last week, I am proud to say that I now have a to-do list and try to tick off one thing a day! Some days are better than others, but today I managed to tick off two tasks: sorting items into keep, give, throw, and sell categories in two rooms. Good luck with your move Sarah!

Well done, you! And that’s a big move 😮 I’ve never been on a trip that required flying for more than 10 hours—let alone moving my house. Best of luck with everything!
