Nice Comment

This related to my post on Dilemma.
Kanan gave very nice suggestions that I think all should know about it.

"Begin by brain storming. That's one thing I learned from my technical writing course. I am like you described. Love to do what I want (hobbies that fall under the 'pai ni pedash nahi ne ghaDi ni navrash nahi' category) to do than what I need (homework assignments that have pressing deadlines) to do, specially when the assignment that's due is boring and I have no idea where to start. I remember hating my technical writing course so much and dreaded the writing assignments but some of those same techniques I learned there have come to my rescue at times like this.

If you think you can not concentrate, go away from the place you are in, change the location. Like if you think ideas are not coming sitting at home on desk, go out and sit in a noisy park or next to a busy elevator where people keep coming and going or wherever you feel you have so many other distractions that you're forced to look at the pen and paper in front of you and start writing your thoughts. Try to limit them to what the assignment is about. Let them be as random as possible but make sure they’re related to your assignment. If you cant think, look up at those busy people around… now that’s one source of endless ideas. Once you think you have exhausted all the thoughts and thrown them on that piece of paper (did I already say use more papers if you need to? Yes do that if you like), start looking for the ideas that have something in common and begin grouping them. Eventually these will become the paragraphs in the paper you’re writing.

Now if you're out of ideas altogether, what to do? Discuss with classmates or family/friends and if that’s not possible, well, google is my life-line at that time. I just start putting in all the keywords related to my project/assignment and see what others have to say for them. If google gives random pages, start grouping the words. e.g. Searching for “Abhishek Bachchan” with double quotes around it gives more precise and accurate results than just Abhishek Bachchan. ;)

And last but not least, think of it this way… once you finish that boring assignment, you will have all the time in the world to do what you love to do!! That is to sketch, write flash scripts, and reading books!"
