Writing the MBA Essay

I tried to start writing my MBA essay today.

I faced writers block immediately and was simply staring at the screen for several minutes...an hour !

It was apparent that the soul searching process was far from done in my case.

Sometimes I wonder how other MBA applicants do their soul searching.

Someone said they used to keep thinking about their essay like it was a screensaver or something..and whenever they got an idea, they would jot it down immediately somewhere.

Someone else said they simply listed all their life experiences without regards to writing style or grammar and were successful in getting a lot content fleshed out into an actual essay.

Neither of these things seem to be working for me now...so I am thinking maybe I should try some form of Yoga posture and see if something works out :-)
