I wasn't ignoring my online course. I was opening it every evening, reading the announcements, and somehow finishing the night with less done than I expected. One assignment prompt had so many parts that I kept going back to the first sentence instead of starting. Eventually, I searched "pay someone to do my online class." I was frustrated with how much effort I was putting in without seeing progress. What changed that evening was reading the prompt alongside the rubric and turning each requirement into a question my draft needed to answer. I wrote a rough outline from that list. It wasn't polished, but it was a start. For the first time that week, I knew what the next hour of work was for.
