Finished this book in one seat! it is really easy to understand and follow along, no jargon, just useful advice for teenagers and adults alike. The book deals with procrastination through the different points of view of four fictional characters: Jordan, Emily, Athena and Tyler. Each one representing a "procrastinator type": The perfectionist, the pleaser, the warrior and the rebel. I think it is really easy to discover your type/s just by reading the book but, in case needed, there are links provided (like with many other New Harbinger books) so you can have access to quizzes and many other extras. The last chapters are dedicated to give solutions, tips and suggestions specifically for each type of procrastinator. Getting to know the different reasons why people procrastinate while following the stories and reactions of each character is what makes this books special and well suited for teens. It is easy to feel identified with the characters. For example, Athena avoiding to tell her parents her plans for a gap year. I found this book very practical and easy to approach and can see the potential for a workbook version. I got my eArc from NetGalley nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Do you procrastinate? And if so, what's your procrastination type? In this fun and illustrated guide, author Jennifer Shannon blends acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral strategies to help you recognize your procrastination habits, discover the strengths of your unique procrastination type, and find the motivation you need to meet important deadlines and reach your highest goals. In the midst of modern-day distractions like smartphones, social media, and endless hours of movie and television streaming, it's no wonder you procrastinate! But despite what you may have heard, procrastination doesn't make you a bad or lazy person. In fact, procrastination may even work for you sometimesâ??creating a sense of urgency that can help you focus. But if procrastination doesn't work for you, it can get in the way of meeting your full potentialâ??in high school, college, your career, and life. So, how can you get things done and be your very best? In A Teen's Guide to Getting Stuff Done, you'll discover your procrastination typeâ??warrior, pleaser, perfectionist, or rebelâ??as well as the unique strengths inherent in each type. If you're a warrior, you love a good challenge, but may not be able to complete tasks you find uninteresting. If you're a pleaser, you may be so concerned about disappointing others that you postpone doing something. If you're a perfectionist, you may put things off because you're worried about your work being judged by teachers, parents, or peers. And finally, if you're a rebel, you're driven by a strong sense of independence. By understanding your type and using the practical strategies laid out in each chapter of this book, you'll be able to break the cycle of procrastination once and for all. This isn't a manual on how to please your parents, teachers, professors, or friends. This is a book to help you understand why you procrastinate, whether or not procrastination works for you, and if not, how to improve your work habits and really get things done. By helping you uncover your own unique strengths, this book will help you master your to-do listâ??and Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
