Emma and Rafael were nervous about their upcoming extended essay, the biggest assignment of the term. Where to even start with the research and writing?
Emma came across Dr. Bilal's Bamboo Method on Twitter https://bit.ly/bamboodrbilal. Bamboo is a type of grass, that first develops strong roots. In this period you can not see the plant grow. Once it has established its root system, it starts to grow exponentially, meaning its rate of growth will be ever increasing.

At first, Emma’s daily commitments seemed daunting alongside schoolwork and activities. But she was willing to try anything to avoid last-minute panicking. Each afternoon for 25 minutes, Emma wrote notes on her topic without pressure to complete full thoughts. At first, her mind wandered but the process became instinctive. Rafael joined in when Emma explained her system. Together they rewarded effort over perfection with short breaks between focused sprints.
As weeks passed, their understanding blossomed beyond memorized facts. New connections emerged during free writing without textbooks as crutches. Outlining became a breeze thanks to reviewing meditation-like journaling. Drafting flowed without frustrations or blanks.
Their patient work paid off with polished, insightful essays earning the highest praise and grades. While commitment was key, the Bamboo Method transformed an obstacle into an achievable process. Emma and Rafael realized slow, steady incremental gains cultivate resilience and skills for any challenge. Through little steps, they’d grown strong like bamboo.
Did I mention that bamboo is an evergreen, this is a skill for life that never goes away. Try it out!
