Hey, if you’re stressing about your extended essay, start by picking a topic you’re genuinely curious about—it makes the whole process less painful. Back in high school, I was clueless about my IB extended essay on climate change impacts. I kept procrastinating, stuck on how to even begin. One night, while scrolling through random study forums, I stumbled across this guide on https://www.ozessay.com.au/blog/extended-essay/. It was a game-changer—suggested breaking the essay into chunks, like researching one specific angle (I chose local ecosystems) and drafting a rough outline early. The site emphasized narrowing your focus to avoid overwhelming yourself, which saved me from spiraling into too-broad ideas. I’d recommend setting small daily goals, like 200 words or one source annotated, to keep momentum. Also, don’t overthink your first draft—just get it down and refine later. That approach got me a solid B+, way better than I expected. Chat with your advisor early, too—they’ll catch gaps you miss. Trust me, curiosity and small steps make it manageable!
