di Grace G. Pacie (Autore)

Punchline Publications, 2020

Do you try not to be late, but it just keeps happening? You are not alone - one in five people struggle to be on time, and would love to change their lateness habit. Until now it's been a lonely battle, but in this trailblazing book Grace Pacie, a lifelong self-confessed 'Timebender', reveals the surprising truth about why we are late – it's not a personal failing, we are hard-wired that way. She explains not only when and why we are late, but also when and why we can be early; what is going on in our brains; and what we can do to fix it. Based on a potent fusion of psychology, self-help, and 10 years of researching fellow sufferers, this book shows us how we can make sure we arrive on time. Written with a light touch, and oodles of humour, Grace dissects our singular approach to time, and in a joyful reversal of conventional wisdom, also shows us the positive side of our timebending tendencies. ? FEATURES 41 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY KAREN TWEED ? INCLUDES 20 TRIED AND TESTED TIPS TO GET YOU THERE ON TIME! Reviews for "Late!" "So much more inspiring than typical time management books and it adds a missing dimension to Stephen Covey's work. And for me, the tips on how to use deadlines and manage distractions are spot on!" – Catherine Stothart, Leadership Coach and Author of "How to Get On with Anyone" "An insightful and intriguing book. As well as a helpful guide for partners and friends, this would also be a useful book for managers to work more effectively with any timebending staff." – Joe Cheal, author of "Solving Impossible Problems" and "Who Stole My Pie?" "A fascinating read, whether or not time is a problem for you." – Wendy Berliner, award-winning journalist at The Guardian "This subject is of interest to a wide market, yet there are very few books about it. It is well-researched, with a solid scientific base. " – Dr Alison Baverstock, Associate Professor of Publishing at Kingston University, author of "Marketing Your Book", and Board Member of the Society of Authors "A fun, easy read with a lot of practical tips for people who have to live with someone who is chronically 'bending time.'" – Joy Wodziak, Strategic Marketing Consultant "I like the way Grace steers away from the conventional idea that it's just a 'lack of discipline.' I found her tips insightful, practical and easy to implement." – Stephanie Rees FCIPD "Everything you write is so true! I laughed out loud on many occasions! It really is such a good antidote to all the other time management books out there! I found it funny, informative, and sympathetic to other people. So illuminating about all the situations described in Part 3. No wonder I hate going on holiday! The Demon Deadline Shaver, Always Keep an Untidy Desk and being truthful about being late still live with me on a daily basis." – Clare Rayner, Member of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine "Timebending! What a relief to have someone label this and double relief to know I am not alone! This is a must read for anyone who desires a more harmonious life. As a parent and Managing Partner, I related to so much in this book and now have tips to not only make my own life less stressful, but I can for those Timekeepers around me, too. This book was far more insightful and thought provoking that I expected." – Rebecca Jones, CEO Object Source LLP
