How to Save Time While Writing Essays in 3 Simple Steps

How I was able to save 2 - 3 hours on researching for my college paper by following these three simple steps

step 1) 

Use your college library / highschool library catalog to find sources for your paper because you get to narrow your searches by 10 x simply by adding certain keywords and phrases which will give you the results that match your specific research

step 2) 

Write all of your notes on a separate sheet of paper. If you write all your notes on a separate sheet of paper you don’t have the need to go back to your computer / tablet and scroll through the whole document in order to find specific evidence you wanted to use for your paper which will save you at least 30 - 40 minutes of writing your paper.

step 3)

Write out a brief structure of how you're going to approach your paper. The reason is simple: if you don’t know what questions / purpose you're fulfilling in your essay then your essay will be a mess and you won’t even know what you're talking about. Make your paper purposeful and easy to understand. 

I was able to apply these three simple steps in order to save approximately 2 - 3 hours of my essay. To put things in perspective, researching went from 2 - 3 hours of struggling to find the “perfect” source / evidence to 15 minutes of researching. So if you want to save 3 hours of research you should really think about these 3 simple steps that I have demonstrated for you.
