When writing my Doc 3 essay, the main thing that helped me stay on task was the looming deadline. I've always worked best under pressure, but I also understand the stress I feel, when I procrastinate. Knowing this fact about myself, helped me to work steadily on this essay.
I had a couple of things that hindered my progress. At the beginning of my writing, I found it difficult to settle on a topic. I initially wanted to write about the poetess, Marie de France, but I found there was not a lot of information about her. There was however a lot of information about her lais and so I decided to pick one called The Chevrefoil.
The other thing that hindered my progress was life! I am a busy mom of three children. Between my schooling, my kids' after school activities, cooking dinner, cleaning house, doing laundry, and spending quality time with my family, I found that I would, on occasion, put writing my Doc 3 essay on the back burner.
I really like your statement about life hindering you from completing the doc 3 assignment. I think that is something that everyone can relate to. Most people have so many other things going on other than strictly school, so it is hard to focus on lengthy assignments like this sometimes. I am very relieved that I am done with it now.
