What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Breaking bad habits: identification, consequences, and intervention strategies

It is also good to try to replace bad habits with healthier behaviors. For example, if your bad habit is always being late, the new pattern could include something that is healthy for you or at least more fun. Instead of being ten minutes late for everything you do, you could try to show up half an hour early to everything for thirty days and bring along a favorite book or magazine to read while you wait. Or maybe play a game on your phone that you like. Whatever it is, if it is enjoyable, it will help reinforce the attempt to break the bad habit and put something better in its place. However, you also need to be careful not to replace a bad habit with another bad habit or else you could simply go back to square one. Finally, if you try to break a habit and it doesn’t work on the first try, then don’t give up. Keep trying different approaches. Eventually you will find one that works for you and you will be able to kick your bad habit for good.
