The Bipolar Workbook, Second Edition

Capita a tutti di rimandare i propri impegni, soprattutto se sgradevoli, faticosi o noiosi, come lo studio, il lavoro o le faccende domestiche. La cattiva abitudine di rinviare le cose da fare a un altro momento, però, definita «procrastinazione», può rappresentare un vero problema e determinare stress e frustrazione crescenti, tanto più si avvicinano le scadenze e si accumulano gli arretrati. Per alcune persone diventa un vero e proprio stile di vita, caratterizzato dalla costante tendenza a svolgere le proprie incombenze all’ultimo momento o dalla incapacità di portarle a termine nei tempi previsti. Questo volume, ricco di esempi e di suggerimenti pratici, aiuta a comprendere quali siano le cause che determinano il fenomeno della procrastinazione e a superarla passo per passo.
