9 paragraphs? That's cake.

My last semester (I graduated this past may) I completed a thesis that was all in all 34 pages.

Whenever I had something huge coming up (paper/midterm/final) I would break shit down into 4 days.

Day 1. Intro day, dont really get into detail with what I am doing.

Day 2. Start making progress on what is needed to be done

Day 3. Should be the day where just about the whole goal, whether it be studying or writing a paper should be done.

Day 4. The day that whatever I did the 4 days for is due. At this point you seriously should be done with what you needed to do and all that is left is to tie up some loose ends.

This 4 day system I developed worked for me 9 times out of 10. I started this method 2 years ago and I was able to raise my GPA from a 2.3 all the way up to a 3.7ish when I got my degree. I recommend others to try this method because it does not stress you out as much and is more of a gradual progression towards a goal. I compare it to a fighter preparing for a fight and reaching my peak (so to speak) at the perfect time.
