The original idea that hole described was that we are much quicker when we're closer to the goal. But subsequent subsequent research has shown that it's a bit more complicated than that. That actually, we slow down dramatically in the middle, when we're sort of unmoored. Were somewhere between the beginning of the goal and the end of the goal. And so we move quickly at the beginning, because we have a bit of motivation, we are fresh or ready to go. And we slow down in the middle. And then as we get to the end of the process, we speed up again, as the goal comes within view. So it's a sort of U shape, you go quickly, then slowly, then quickly again. alters description of this pattern goes along with what I've experienced in working on writing projects. If you've ever had to create a major written work like a book or a dissertation, or even on a small, smaller scale, an essay, you often start off with a good degree of momentum as you work through your ideas, and craft your introduction. But as you get more into it, when you reach the middle, that's the toughest part becomes difficult to write. He might get stuck, even feel paralyzed, can't get a word out. sitting down to write becomes painful. You avoid it, you procrastinate. But then, with determination, if you persist, and trudge through it. Once you draw closer to the conclusion, it speeds up and you're writing with ease again. Suddenly, words flow more easily. Maybe that's why it's often recommended that in writing you write the introduction and the conclusion first, and the body the middle part last.
