Tips for writing an essay with executive dysfunction: do this.
Write out bits and pieces of the essay. When you get to a part you can’t/”don’t want to” write, put it in bold brackets. Get as much done as you can and come back in a half an hour or so!
If the executive function is still bothering you, take it one bracket at a time. Don’t delete the bracket until you’re done “filling it in,” so to speak. If you need to take more breaks or hop to the next bracket, you can do that too! Similarly, if you have a thought you want to get down but you aren’t sure how to word it, put it in bold brackets as well!
It may not “cure” the executive dysfunction or procrastination problems, but it makes writing the essay more like putting shapes in holes of the same shape. It can be a pain, but the process is a bit more streamlined and user-friendly.
I know this may not work for everyone, but as someone who has really bad executive dysfunction and problems focusing (thank you, ADHD!) this works REALLY well for me! I hope by sharing it it can help other people (with and without executive dysfunction/adhd) too! o/
This strategy also works for individual words as well. Not sure what works to put? In its place, put a bracket and fill it in. I often use a synonym of the word I want to go there because it helps me know what to fill in later, but there have also been times when I’ve just put [word] to signify that I know some word needs to go there, but I’m not sure what at the moment.
To make sure that you’ve cleared all the brackets before turning in your assignment, you can use the search function and just type a single bracket in. Once your search returns no brackets, you know that it’s ready!
I do this ALL THE TIME
This is literally how I wrote my thesis and basically every paper in grad school.
The day after The Last Jedi came out I was shopping for a birthday present for a friend at a nerd store and these two guys walk up behind me, obviously wanting to look at where I was looking. One of them said “probably buying something for her boyfriend…stick to blow jobs bitch it’s not like you know what you’re looking at” so I turned around and say “Luke Skywalker dies.”
They look at me speechless, they hadn’t seen the movie yet. “What did you say?”
“I said Luke Skywaler dies. He force projects himself to fight Kylo Ren and then dies. And if you don’t get the fuck away from me I’ll tell you how Snoke dies too”

POWER MOVE
Oh definitely spoil things for assholes. It’s perfect for those patronizers that think comics is a guys’ game. Those people are the reason it’s so hard for a female to even want to try to get into the community. You can’t complain there aren’t many female that like comics and then scare away any female that shows interest by being a patronizing asshole. I know plenty of females who are definitely comic people and instead of being a dick, we just compliment the other’s weaknesses in comics. That’s how being a community works. Not some “I’m a guy so by default I know more about comics than you” mentality.
you know john boyega was so right that finn would have a white lightsaber. the color of healed kyber- kyber that had been hurt and been used to hurt, but through healing and love being returned to it’s truest self. finn being taken and trained to hurt and choosing healing and love. finn using his powers to heal a bleeding kyber crystal when he’d only ever known the force as a force to hurt. white is also the color of stormtrooper armor, the faceless mask he was forced to become. he’ll always carry that with him, but now he carries it as a weapon to help others, a symbol of justice. he understood the assignment.
