How to do an ECA in 6 weeks

Handed in my ECA at Walton Hall on the day of the deadline.

Walking back in time, this is how long I spent (approximately) working on it:

Fixing pro-forma 1 hour
Capitalisation 30 mins
Final bibliography 2 hours
- next time, use Excel as before
- but, use the Table, Convert, Table to Text function once in Word
Final complete run-through and re-drafting 4 hours
Fixing Appendix B 3 hours
10.5 hours

Reading
- Gwyn (biography of Wolsey) 1 week
- Foyle (Wolsey's Hampton Court) 1 week
Planning
- Timeline + other reading 4 days
- Constructing argument and selecting sources 8 days
Drafting in sections 3 days
Re-writing coherently in full to word limit 3 days
Reviewing and re-writing 3 days
Final presentation (as above) 1 day
36 days (5 weeks + 1 day)

But to this add at least 1 week in pre-preparation mode, i.e. 2-3 days pulling together key bibliography for the pro-forma exercise, 2-3 days preparing July presentation, 1 day Ju
