It is good for children who are lazy.
It is short and has drawings so it is not that boring

While I was roaming around the self-help section of our local bookstore, my attention was caught by these series of books which I find attractive because they were arranged perfectly and by their color. The first book that I picked was this —Why Procrastinate?

Procrastination I know is a common problem of human and I am not an exception to it. It's my first time to read a self-help book regarding procrastination and it really helped me a lot. Aside from the tips and advices, the author is also an artist so the book has a series of cute drawings and stuff. There is something in this book that doesn't seem light. Although those are practical ways, when you think hard of it, you can actually do it and there is something about his way of writing that motivated me and pushed me to step out of my procrastination slump.

So far, I have started to take a few steps on how to overcome this problem of mine and so far, I am happy with my progress. It's never too late to change for the better, isn't it? A must read!!

P.S. What I love about this book is that it's cheap! :) For only 150php, you can have a very informative and helpful book and it's not a waste of your penny. This, I am sure.
Looking forward to buy some of his books from the series maybe Why Simplify? Hmmm.

كتاب جيد للمراهقين

واجهه مخاوفك اسأل نفسك ايش الشي الي اخاف منة و السؤال الثاني ايش راح يصير لو تحققت مخاوفك
و لزم تحط لك عبارات إيجابية تاكيدية


اكتشفت مع هذا الكتاب ان لزم اتعلَّم اكثر عن التسويف و ادارة الوقت و التوتر تقلقي الضغوط



Digital detox و سو جدول بعدد الساعات الي تقضيها تشوف برامج

Quick read and very easy-to-read too :)) nice reference when wanting to be motivated to do something about one's procrastinating habit. It makes use of stories and real life examples to illustrate points. It may be a bit outdated as the technology mentioned may have already phased out but the content about mindset remains both timeless and timely. Simple but hits the spot just right.

It’s important to remember while reading, that the target audience of the book was teenagers. So while the examples and illustrations seem somewhat childish, the principles behind managing procrastination are still relevant to the adult. Great quick read!

This book has really taught me how to get things done on time and to do it early the author is also an artist and puts in some funny cartoons to help better the lessons he is teaching.
