Like you just can't do something? And it turns out that the truth is that you just don't want to? Or, that you fear you will fail and so you use anything and everything to avoid trying at 100%?
In 2001, I started my graduate work at Hamline University. I enjoyed my coursework and liked meeting new educators who I could learn from and socialize with. In order to earn my master's degree I needed (and still need) to finish a capstone- Hamline's work for the master's thesis/paper. For years, I have procrastinated and tried, avoided and tried again and here I am, AGAIN, working on it so that I can FINALLY finish it and here I sit at my friend's house, trying to write without the added interference of Quinn wanting my attention... and I don't want to do it. I've not planned or researched as well as I should have and I hate writing bogus stuff. I don't want other people to have to read my crappy paper, but I also don't want to have a crappy paper. The thing is-- to write a superb paper means taking oodles of time to do so and I neither have the time nor want to give the time to this purpose. Uggh. So, I'm overeating and seriously wanting a nap. Terrific. My capstone is my achille's heal, the giant thing hanging over me that I need and want to achieve, but feel nearly incapable of doing.
What is your achille's heel? How can you help me to complete my paper? Help!
