So, I think that normally without I write an English Lit essay without timing myself it turns out very good but when I time myself with 45 mins, it turns out disastrous as I end up writing only the thesis statement/intro and one paragraph in that time that are not that good.
It seems that every time I write an essay with time pressure, I blank out for a few seconds and focus too much on the clarity because I struggle with that a lot. By the way, I do spend 10 minutes at the beginning to plan my essays by writing the main ideas of each paragraph and what quotes I would use.
So does anyone have any ideas what I can do to try my best to write essays within the time limit and make it as good as I can write without a time limit?
