Okay， so it's been more years than I care to admit since I was a teen or a student - the target audience for this book - but I think there's huge value in a friendly， straightforward bit of advice about life skills we all need: time management， planning， organisation - all aimed at tackling procrastination。 And really， having that advice aimed at a younger version of yourself makes it all the more accessible - just apply it to this 'grown up' stuff that is all a con anyway， right？！ ;）Or， of cour Okay， so it's been more years than I care to admit since I was a teen or a student - the target audience for this book - but I think there's huge value in a friendly， straightforward bit of advice about life skills we all need: time management， planning， organisation - all aimed at tackling procrastination。 And really， having that advice aimed at a younger version of yourself makes it all the more accessible - just apply it to this 'grown up' stuff that is all a con anyway， right？！ ;）Or， of course， buy it for the actually high school， college， or university student in your life。 The tone is nicely un-patronising， with some fun as well as practical ideas。Full review is up on my blog。 。。。more

Is it bad that I'm not finishing a book on this topic？ Mostly it's the writing style that bothers me。 It's very much for college and high school students and the author uses unnecessary profanity to try to connect and be hip。 Is it bad that I'm not finishing a book on this topic？ Mostly it's the writing style that bothers me。 It's very much for college and high school students and the author uses unnecessary profanity to try to connect and be hip。 。。。more

I'm a pro-procrastinator， so I'm always interested in ideas to stop procrastinating。 This is an interesting book because it is written for teenagers。 I can't imagine how much more focused I would have been and how many late nights meeting deadlines could have been avoided had I read this （or something like it。）The author has lots of experience working with teens and uses case studies as relevant examples throughout。 At times， the language was a little too casual for me; it seems like it could be I'm a pro-procrastinator， so I'm always interested in ideas to stop procrastinating。 This is an interesting book because it is written for teenagers。 I can't imagine how much more focused I would have been and how many late nights meeting deadlines could have been avoided had I read this （or something like it。）The author has lots of experience working with teens and uses case studies as relevant examples throughout。 At times， the language was a little too casual for me; it seems like it could become dated or some teens might feel like she isn't talking to them as adults， but it was appropriate to the audience。 I especially liked that she addressed the real-life struggles of studying within a family living situation。I would definitely recommend this short book for teens （or parents of teens） trying to be more effective。 Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a digital review copy。 This was published October 6， 2020。 。。。more

I received this book as an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I didn't make it all the way through this book before the archive date， but I did very much enjoy what I read！ It was easy to follow， and very much non-judgmental。 I would be more than happy to recommend this book to both adults and teens， and will continue to read it myself。 Even though I didn't finish it YET， I have incorporated some of the suggestions into my day and they do make a difference。 I received this book as an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I didn't make it all the way through this book before the archive date， but I did very much enjoy what I read！ It was easy to follow， and very much non-judgmental。 I would be more than happy to recommend this book to both adults and teens， and will continue to read it myself。 Even though I didn't finish it YET， I have incorporated some of the suggestions into my day and they do make a difference。 。。。more

It's not often in this era of hype that you find an author whose tone， approach， and content is so perfect for the subject and the audience that it makes you sit up and take notice， but Leslie Josel has done exactly that in How To Do It Now…Because It's Not Going Away: An Expert Guide To Getting Stuff Done。 Designed for high school and college students， this book is a no-nonsense， realistic approach to achieving academic goals…and reading it doesn't feel like homework！ Right from the initial "Be It's not often in this era of hype that you find an author whose tone， approach， and content is so perfect for the subject and the audience that it makes you sit up and take notice， but Leslie Josel has done exactly that in How To Do It Now…Because It's Not Going Away: An Expert Guide To Getting Stuff Done。 Designed for high school and college students， this book is a no-nonsense， realistic approach to achieving academic goals…and reading it doesn't feel like homework！ Right from the initial "Before We Begin" and the introduction， Josel connects with the reader， not as a finger-wagging parent or teacher， but with a wise and nurturing "cool aunt" vibe。 You can imagine her saying， "Right， I SO get it！ I know what you're talking about and it's painful。 But I've got a plan！ Follow me。" It may be hard to imagine a procrastinating student （whether a freshman in high school or a senior in college） embracing a book on procrastination， time management， and study skills and having faith in a stranger to help him or her survive。 But Josel immediately reels the reader in with "Does this sound like you？" examples that let us know this is not her first rodeo， and inspires confidence that she knows how to side-step the bull's horns （and the BS）。Josel weaves reality checks into each of her chapters， helping students see past their initial assumptions about their own behaviors and about the different approaches needed for homework vs。 studying vs。 projects。 With warmth， she commiserates with readers （about the annoyance of certain types of homework， about how most people aren't actually taught how to study， etc。） and then she delivers solutions at three levels。 First， she addresses （and then adjusts） mindsets， so students can more clearly see the invisible obstacles in their way， including ones they've placed there themselves。 She introduces useful concepts from the productivity field in which she is an expert， like the "now/not now" dichotomy of the time horizon， but she never strays too far into academia or research that she loses the reader。 Instead， every concept is used to back up her guidance and improve students' confidence that her advice will work for them。Second， with her lively but grounded style， Josel provides practical， realistic behavioral changes with step-by-step instructions。 Too often， productivity guides make sweeping statements when readers really need everything broken down into digestible snack-size portions。 Josel clarifies each task， giving students just what they need — keys for what to do， how to do it， and enough "why" so that they can stay motivated。 Moreover， she allies with readers to assure them that they are unique， and gives multiple ways to customize each step of their new systems。 From guidance in analyzing time use to helping create a Personal Homework Profile™ – to using popcorn or a favorite tree （！） to yield success – each page has actionable wisdom。 Third， How To Do It Now provides an absolute banquet of resources， including digital and analog tools， with suggestions both interwoven in the text and in a categorized resource section， ensuring that students can access ongoing support。 There's even a companion website with downloadable forms and charts。Although this is a book for older students， I would encourage both parents and middle-schoolers to familiarize themselves with the concepts， as well， and can even see professionals who get overwhelmed by procrastination and demands on their time benefiting from this student-focused advice。 。。。more
