Event Description

What Motivates Getting Things Done: Procrastination, Emotions, and Success (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, on sale 7/8/17).

Are you proactive or a procrastinator?

No matter which you chose, there’s nothing to be ashamed of! People’s approach to completing tasks, as long as they are indeed completed and showcase their best efforts, does not determine success.

In her new book, Dr. Lamia analyzes the factors behind people’s approaches to task completion and teaches readers how to leverage their strengths in pursing excellence in their personal and professional lives. Practical tips and tools to help readers reflect, self-evaluate, and learn more about their own motivations and practices.

A few of the topics she can discuss are:

• How procrastination does not necessarily interfere with success, and early action does not inevitably result in a favorable outcome
• How one can use their task completion method to produce the best work possible
• How procrastinators and non-procrastinators can get along and work together effectively in friendships, romantic relationships, and professional settings
• How our core emotions motivate the way we do things
