Default How To Stop Paper Writing From Being An All-Day Affair

I'm a philosophy major in my third year of college. As such, I'm often required (quite frequently) to write papers. In fact, I haven't seen a multiple choice exam since high school. All my exams are in essay format, and in addition to those exams, I usually have to write 2-4 papers per class per semester. While I enjoy doing this, for me, paper writing is an all-day affair. That is because I am not one of those people who can simply write everything down and then go back and edit it later. Instead, I am the type of person who deliberates over every word and constantly goes back and makes sure my paper is well-organized and makes sense before proceeding further. My question is, how can I stop spending all day writing a paper? I realize that part of the problem is my belief "that I am the type of person who deliberates over every word" rather than simply being the person who "writes and then edits." But I can't seem to shake it. Thanks Steve and others!
