A Wonderful Book

This is a wonderful book -- it presents the subject in a very funny way. It has a funny story as a "real life" example of a procrastinator, then it gives 20 "funny" ways to stop procrastination. The cartoons in the book are great. I got the book for my 9 years old son. He liked the book a lot and most importantly, he got the message! It's so effective -- funny while dealing with a common real-life problem! My son even used the book to do a power-point book report for his class. I'm very happy with this book -- it's worth every penny!

Helping the Procrastinator

I found this book organized and insightful. It provides simple, easy to understand ways to organize and motivate a child to get the work done, be it homework, doing chores, or cleaning their room. It's a combination of an Anthony Robbins motivator and a step-by-step guide to help children use their time more productively by establishing a daily routine.

TIME MANAGEMENT FOR TWEENS

MY 11 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER LAUGHED WHEN I GAVE HER THIS BOOK...BUT THE NEXT DAY I FOUND STICKY NOTES AROUND HER BATHROOM AND ON HER BACK PACK AND SUITCASE. "TO DO" LISTS WERE EVERYWHERE AND SHE COMPLETED HER TASKS DURING HER SPRING BREAK VISIT WITH ME. HOMEWORK PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED EARLY, GIVING US TIME TO MAKE NEW MEMORIES!!
