Boice Reflection 64-72

The only thing that surpasses my love of logic is my love of doing nothing. My laziness often times makes me rush and binge to get an essay done all in one sitting. The extent of my laziness knows no bounds as, and I swear this to be true, the only times I've ever even written first drafts are when they are graded or required for the final draft. So prewriting is a foreign idea to me.
I have started to acknowledge that my laziness has added too much stress to my life lately, and outlining seems to be the best way to reduce this stress. It's informal enough that I hopefully won't hate it and the benefits are undeniable. I love the idea that it's a formulated way to keep track of all your thoughts and ideas. 
I found it really interesting and helpful that Boice provided his own outline. Never having done one, it was nice to be able to refer to an example. I'm going to have to print off this section and keep it as a reference for the next time I have an assignment that needs organizing and prewriting.
