Planning

At the drop-ins, I often have people coming who are in the beginning of the writing process. They have often run into issues when writing, such as running out of ideas, unclear writing, or weak arguments. Their mistake? They simply overlooked one important part of the writing process: planning.

As any writer knows, you need to plan out what you鈥檙e writing in order for it to be effective. Planning out your writing allows you to develop stronger arguments and be clearer in presenting them 鈥 both of which are essential to writing a successful university-level assignment.

Bullet journalling: Creative vs practical approach

I bought an agenda, but I realized that there would be weeks where I used it constantly and weeks where I didn鈥檛 use it at all. I didn鈥檛 think this was the best resource for me, so I decided to try bullet journaling for my next year.
