As someone who struggles with procrastination, this book was helpful. Lots of useful tips for getting your life organized.

Who doesn't procrastinate everything now and then?
This is a self- help book that is split up into 8 useful chapters. It is a great book and I can see it being helpful in many different situations. I can also see it being a wonderful resource for students needing to learn how to manage their time better.

Very useful and has some good points in it. I enjoyed it and learned some good tips. It's not usually what I read but I had a good time. I am really glad that I chose to read it. I would recommend it.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC

The irony of me reading this book while procrastinating for studying....
Anyhow, this book provided me with a handful of useful tips to try & tackle procrastination!
Josel shows a lot of experiences from students themselves, and i’m sure you will recognize yourself in one of them.
This definitely was a very educational book with lots of great tips!

Different types of procrastination need different tools to help them. This book highlights a lot of brilliant tools and techniques. Very well constructed book with a lot of salient points.

Some good strategies for students of any level to help with school and school work done at home. Different tools, topics and persons stories and tips. Maybe more suited for those in high school/college/ university. But can be worked for younger students too.

As a parent, I know that it is so important to teach your kids the skill of getting things done early and properly - good habits last a lifetime and so, unfortunately, do bad habits. This book is written for teens to help them learn how not to procrastinate. It is a great book with many useful tools. Sometimes, it is easier for a teen to learn from someone other than their parents; this book is a great way to help them learn not to procrastinate. It is well-written and easy to follow. Lots of great advice. I highly recommend it and I plan on sharing it with the teens in my life who could use a helping hand.

I was provided a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

There are an endless amount of self-help and time management books geared towards adults, but you don't hear about the books for younger people, like teens, as often. I thought this book was perfect for the target demographic. It is easy to read and full of the best strategies a teen life coach could offer.

I appreciated the fact that this book addressed the many different reasons people may procrastinate and that the author provided multiple tools and solutions for each cause. I also like that each chapter included at least one App recommendation to help students with their procrastination problems. I had never heard of some of the recommended apps before, and I scroll through the productivity apps in the App Store for fun...

There are also worksheets demonstrated throughout the book, which are available on the book's website and which I definitely plan on using in the future.

I would recommend this book to teens and young adults who are either struggling with procrastination or enjoy self-help/productivity books. I would also recommend it to adults who feel intimidated by the more complex, longer, or more boring books covering this topic but targeting an older audience. Finally, parents who want to know how to help their kids with their procrastinating behaviors might get something out of reading this one.

Wow, as a recent college graduate where was this book when I needed it in high school and college. I liked the introduction Josel gives before you read as it gives context for what you're going to read and what she wants you to take away from the book. It puts you in the right mindset to receive the information she is giving. I love that the focus was on the why behind procrastination and strategies to address those reasons specifically rather than just general statements. As someone who procrastinates because I feel like everything has to be perfect, which cause me to not even start, her suggestions on how to overcome that helped me immensely.

By page 13 alone, I already felt like I knew more than when I started. This book has an encouraging tone which I love as it feels like the author is really trying to help the readers. I enjoyed how the book itself was structured as she includes worksheets and relevant apps, several of which I downloaded. I also liked the inclusion of examples of real people dealing with procrastination problems and how she helped them work through their problems. I thought there was good humor in this book, especially with her own children's advice.

Overall, this book will be extremely helpful for students and even non-students who struggle with procrastination. The author did a great job of explaining the why behind the techniques, so you can better understand before you try to implement something. I am excited to try to organize my life more using the worksheets, techniques, and apps she included in the book.

Actual 4.5 Stars:

I'll say that being past my own high school and college-aged years, I have learned a lot of the lessons in this book the hard way and can contest to their usability and accuracy. The author is funny and relatable which is particularly useful for the targeted demographic of this self-help guide (teens and college-aged students). The book offers advice in a non-preachy, non-lecture format while emphasizing the fact that these tips are to be molded to the individual and aren't one-for-all. I found that the tips and stories from the author's own clients were incredibly helpful to see her tips and advice in play. I definitely related to some of those struggles and it definitely helped put the author's advice in context.

Overall I believe this book accomplishes what it set out to do and is a great resource for any teen, young adult, or adult who feels that they are procrastinating or (as the author mentioned) suffer from the anxiety that can come with feeling that one is procrastinating. Overall anyone who isn't procrastinating can also benefit from this guide as the tips and advice are applicable to any office setting or time management scenario.

Thank you to Netgalley, Lerner Publishing, and Leslie Josel for the advanced copy of "How to Do It Now Because It's Not Going Away" in exchange for an honest review.

How To Do It Now is a guide on how to cease procrastinating, essentially. It covers numerous topics and offers uncountable tips: from where to study and how to study, to how to organize your room and get rid of distractions with which you are more likely to procrastinate.

When requesting this book, I didn't really see it as something for me, even though it's intended for people my age and in my situation. As I started reading, though, I gradually began to see how much it could help me, personally.
Besides discussing the main topics, Leslie offers us tips for apps to download, pre-made sheets to plan on and real stories of her clients as an example to a situation she is explaining. What I could have lived without, however, was the "Classroom Confessionals' section, which I found pointless (although sometimes relatable :D).
Despite the fact that I found Leslie's writing very easy-going and I got the impression that she is a kind and positive person, the overuse of phrases like 'I feel with you', 'I know what you are going through', 'you aren't alone' et cetera annoyed me and sometimes kept me from really seeing what she was trying to say. Other than that, she seems like what we call in Slovakia "a little sun" - somebody who is always cheery and bright and ready to make your day! It was a definite plus!

All in all, though, this book was truly eye-opening and although I didn't even think about using it for myself, I absolutely will!!

Thank you for providing the eARC! I will be sure to post a review on my blog when the release date comes nearer. I truly appreciated this little gem.
