Sorry, I just couldn't continue. I thought this would be a fun book about getting stuff done, but within a few pages I was bored out of my mind. I gave it some more pages, but I just couldn't continue any further. 

I am sure there is an audience for this one, but it is not me. I may not be the right audience, but I am sure even teen me would have chucked this book away and gone for a book which is more engaging and attractive than this wall of text with hop-scotch things (example of something > some explanation > some random case file on a person and then just forgetting about the person. :P). 

Thanks for this book, and I hope it will find someone who will like it. :)

This book helped me and I'm an adult! I learned what kind of archetype I fall into (Warrior) and that I need to feel motivated or engaged to get things done. Honestly, it never really occurred to me to fight through my lack of motivation and do things anyway. That seems like a ridiculous statement, but if you fall into one of the categories, this book really explains your thought process and the root of your issues with procrastination. I think this will be a helpful guide to encourage students to get their work done and a good addition to YA non-fiction shelves.

Inside, you can find the break down of the four main types of procrastinators, along with  some common root causes to this procrastination. There are also tips on what can be done to overcome the issue and how to incorporate this work into an everyday life. This book seems great for teens, young adults, and anyone else who can be described as a serial procrastinator (much like myself).

This was the perfect pick-me-up I needed for battling my procrastination. After completing this book, I've learned that I am a Warrior/Perfectionist hybrid procrastinator. I have also begun to come to terms with the root of my procrastination and what I can do to become more productive.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

I wish I had a copy (or at least a teacher had a copy) while I was in high school or in my freshman experience class in college.
This is such a cute book and a great present for a 'Welcome to High School' or 'Welcome to College' basket or box. It talks about the four different types of procrastinators. (Who knew?)
Definitely, a tool not only for teens and YAs, but also for teachers and parents. I would've loved if my freshman experience teacher had this as a tool and discussed this book. The author goes beyond classifying procrastinators, she also write about why we procrastinate and different ways we can brake from the cycle. The author includes activities at the end of the sections. I enjoyed the exercises - some more fun than others. The book also help the readers tackle tasks in different ways based on the nature of task and how not procrastinate on specific tasks. I enjoyed how the author applied social media, the roll it plays in our lives, and how it plays our role in our procrastinating skills. Organization and chopping big tasks are key and this big a good reminder and I hope it will be a GREAT tool for many (young and old.)
