Writing can be very boring work; especially if it becomes very mechanical when you’re not interested in the subject matter. One of the ways around this is to physically change your writing setting; take a pen, paper and notebook if you’re a cyber-nut, move to a coffee shop with free internet access or a bookstore if you want a different atmosphere. Switching where you write (or what tools you use to write with) can add something a little different to help you get your assignment done.

Many coffee shops and restaurants now offer free Wi-Fi as well–you might have to be a little creative about where these places are, especially since many of the bigger chains do not offer free Wi-Fi. I’ve found that smaller coffee shops are the best bet for saving money and better prices.

Regardless, if you’re feeling stuck, changing where you’re working can help.
