Minneapolis, Minnesota, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coming this fall from Zest Books™, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group™, How to Do It Now Because It’s Not Going Away: An Expert Guide to Getting Stuff Done teaches teens to manage their time and attention through everyday life and tough challenges alike. Written by internationally recognized academic/life coach Leslie Josel, this book motivates readers to stop procrastinating by providing them with digestible tips and tools from her sixteen plus years in the field.
Procrastination is a particularly daunting challenge for students, and while we are all wired to put things off, we also have the capacity to learn how to manage this tendency. With her signature straight-talking style, and a touch of humor and wit, Josel’s How to Do It Now Because It’s Not Going Away is full of study skills, time management tools, ways to manage digital distractions, planning tips and mood boosters.
“In all my years working with students (and their parents), procrastination continues to be the number one concern, complaint, and fear that I hear,” says Josel. “And here’s what I know. That students—for the most part—procrastinate for different reasons than adults do and their procrastination shows up differently too. So, I dug deep, interviewed tons of my students, and packed this book with real tips, real stories, and real successes (and misses) that will truly hit home.”
How to Do It Now Because It’s Not Going Away opens the door to a student’s view of procrastination and reveals what it really looks like to teach students how to get stuff done. . .now.
