It's About Time!
The 6 Styles of Procrastination and How to Overcome Them

As Will Rogers once said, “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”

What is procrastination? No, it's not laziness; it's an unresolved internal conflict. You need (or even want) to do a task but you also have resistance toward doing it. This creates an approach-avoidance conflict: Like a Hamlet in the world of action, you’re torn between two impulses—to do or not to do.

It’s About Time! begins by helping procrastinators understand the inner conflict that produces their self-defeating pattern. Without that knowledge, the predisposition to procrastinate continues to sabotage efforts to change. Once you know your procrastination style: perfectionist, dreamer, worrier, defier, crisis-maker, overdoer. you can learn skills and strategies for change - specifically geared to your particular style.

This valuable book provides the reader with a 3-prong approach to change, helping you modify negative thinking, speaking and acting patterns that fuel your procrastination. It will teach you how to move from a path of avoidance to a path of resolution.

Don’t procrastinate. Take the quiz. Read the book. Don’t just sit there! Get on the road to making things happen!

Beat Procrastination and Make the Grade
The 6 Styles of Procrastination and How Students can Overcome Them

From the author of It's About Time comes a surefire antidote for those who can least afford to procrastinate: students!

According to a recent study, only 40% of students complete their bachelor's degree in four years. Why? Because they fail to assess priorities, finish projects, and handle distractions. In other words, they procrastinate!

Dr. Linda Sapadin comes to the rescue of students at all levels, from high school to graduate school, with her no-nonsense, step-by-step guide to overcoming procrastination. She has identified six types of procrastinators--perfectionists, dreamers, worriers, defiers, crisismakers, and overdoers--and for each has developed a specific program designed to help students unlearn self-destructive behavior and realize their full potential. Through quizzes and case studies, she shows students how to:

  • change self-defeating patterns of behavior
  • develop workable study habits
  • cope with new-found freedom and responsibility

Beat Procrastination and Make the Grade will show students how to get their work done and still have plenty of time left over to enjoy their school experience. Teachers, parents, counselors, and anyone who knows or works with students will find this book to be an essential tool.

Sorry, this book is no longer available.

Good news, however!

It's been revised and expanded and is now available as an E-Program at www.Academic Procrastination. com. Click here to find out more about this new resource.
