Creating distractions and \u201cimportant\u201d work instead of doing something that might actually benefit us in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The go-to solution is to \u201cfind\u201d motivation, or meditate, or convince ourselves that we can do it. But, the truth is, these are often temporary and quite unreliable fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the real secret? There is none \u2013 you gotta do what you gotta do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, when it comes to scholarship applications, there are a few adjustments\/considerations worth mentioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Cost of Giving In<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, let\u2019s consider the alternative \u2013 you actually giving in and not doing the work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you will be missing out on dozens, if not hundreds of great scholarships, where you have high chances of winning the money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might give you a little more time for watching TV shows and\/or sleeping, but what is the actual cost of that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By not doing the work, you are piling a debt that will have to be repaid at some point. There is a reason you are seeking scholarships \u2013 you could use the money. So, if you need this money, odds are that at some point you might have to start working during your studies \u2013 if you already don\u2019t \u2013 to collect it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, what\u2019s better: filling out applications or working 8- or 10-hour shifts?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Great Pull and Mystery of a Couch<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, we delay applying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is it about applications that makes us procrastinate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truth be told, the obstacles are not that different from those we face before doing chores, preparing for an exam, or, really, just getting off a couch, and doing some exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normally, we perceive these things to be extra hard. And it seems as if we eek and retract from this perceived difficulty, leaving it to the time when we have no other choice but to bypass our fears and do them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, in reality, they should be done either way \u2013 and often, once we actually start doing them, we realize it wasn\u2019t so bad, after all. Ever had that happen to you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s more of a mental game. And it\u2019s won by understanding and preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, previously, you might have been right \u2013 after all, who would want to spend hours browsing for scholarships, and filling out applications, only to find out they were a hoax?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/\">ScholarshipOwl<\/a> platform, you don\u2019t have to worry about this \u2013 our scholarships are vetted rigorously and consistently, so you always get the real deals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Do I Really Have to Type That&#8230; Again?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onto the more practical part \u2013 even with all the verified scholarships, you still have to fill out the data about yourself and do the requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of creating a profile, ScholarshipOwl does everything we can to make the administrative part super easy \u2013 you fill out the profile once, and it gets applied to every future application. So you don\u2019t waste time writing the same info over and over again. Drudgery can be a big part of the procrastination equation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to requirements, you could even skip that part with our one-click scholarships. You simply fill out your profile and start clicking. Click, click, click \u2013 already applied to three scholarships!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we do not recommend this \u2013 we actually encourage you to put in the work. Why? Because the scholarships with additional requirements are: a) usually worth more, and b) your chances of winning are much higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do we go about that?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Essays Are Not Nuclear Physics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common requirement for scholarships is an essay. And, yes, essays can be boring, but \u2013 only if you don\u2019t know what to do. It\u2019s the process of figuring things out that makes it so frustrating and ultimately causes us to give up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ScholarshipOwl has gathered tons of resources to help you with this. Check out our free ebook on essay writing, and browse our blog for topic-specific essays to get ideas about what you can do. It will make the whole process much easier and enjoyable. The same goes for motivational letters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min.png\" alt=\"writing essays\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min.png 2240w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-80x45.png 80w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-436x245.png 436w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-604x340.png 604w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-image-min-889x500.png 889w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2240px) 100vw, 2240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve even created a <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/new-on-owl\/essay-writing-2-0-when-other-text-editors-just-dont-cut-it\/\">distraction-free editor<\/a> just for you, so you can focus on the task at hand and whip out that essay much more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest and one of the most effective tips: just open your Google Doc, or our editor, and start writing.

No editing, no searching for the right phrase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not that bad, eh? Once you have the right draft, move to the editing process, and you will have your essay ready in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Other Side of (Scholarship) Coin<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve looked at alternatives at the beginning of this article, we should also look at the outcome of applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting over the initial phases of procrastination and realizing it\u2019s not as bad as you think, you will become accustomed to filling them out and applying for highly valuable scholarships. You can still supplement those, of course, with one-click scholarships, but the bulk of your applications should consist of scholarships with specific requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you know it, the process becomes familiar and you will do it almost automatically, I.e. effortlessly. As the numbers of your applications rise, so will your odds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, then one day, it will happen \u2013 you will have won your first scholarship!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We promise you\u2019ll be glad you didn\u2019t choose that TV show over applying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Apply?
