I've done a lot of assignment work in my life, and the only way you can do it is to make it your own as quickly as possible, and then you give it back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love writing essays and articles, so it's hard for me to resist taking assignments that inevitably pull me away from larger projects.
I've never been good with structure - doing assignments for the sake of them or doing things I'm supposed to do.
I have decided that I won't take up assignments that don't interest me.
I remember when I was in art classes, I hated following the assignments. And I would get in trouble for doing something totally different or taking it in a weird direction.
I assemble my ideas in pieces on a computer file, then gradually find a place for them on a piece of scaffolding I erect.
Writing for me can be homework. I do get a lot from it in the end. But I hate doing it.
I cannot transfer my abilities to anyone, but I can think of quicker ways with which to help people develop numerical aptitude.
I have a hard time writing, and I usually have to put a timer at my desk and put it on for an hour. But I love to illustrate, and I can hardly stop myself.
All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.
The best work I can do is to take myself as much as I can out of it and get it as simple as I can.
