I would suggest breathing exercises to try and help with stress levels. Deep & slow breathing, with some meditation if you can or alternatively, try and visualise yourself writing your final paper and enjoying it and doing well at it in an efficient, stress-free manner.
If you can see something in your mind it's easier to make it a reality because your brain will believe it's possible. If you have difficulty imagining that then think of something you HAVE been able to work at in that relaxed and efficient manner and remember how it felt and try and bring those qualities into what you're dealing with with your final paper.
A NLP technique is to visualise the set of behaviours you don't want in one hand and the set of behaviours you do want in the other and to bring your hands together so that the good overwrites the bad.
Also, you can imagine yourself in the situation where you would be stressed and then step out of yourself and watch from afar, freeze-frame it, turn it black & white and then smash it in your mind as if it were a giant painting on a pane of glass. You can also put a frame around it and shrink the frame to nothing.
Or imagine the shape that stress would have if it were a physical shape in your body, where it would be, etc. and then imagine pulling it out of you and putting it in a magic bin that vapourises whatever is put in it so it can't harm you anymore. You can also imagine replacing it with the good feelings if you wish. :o)
