The book can actually be read in a few hours. It’s kinda a fun read the way it’s done. The chapter on procrastination was the reason why I bought it for him on a suggestion of another CC parent.
@cshell2 that was pretty much my son but with a few Bs to keep it interesting. He took 6 APs and Multivariate Calc his senior year and got all As. He learned that the harder courses are just more interesting to him. His school was all honors and the top state school at the time. Then college started and he took (and still does as a rising senior) like 18 credits with 2 sciences and labs in the same semester etc. He is doing great but found out fast… This ain’t high school anymore in his engineering program… He tells me the easy courses are hard and that they all struggle together (somehow I find comfort in that ?).
Not sure if he read the whole thing but his time management skills are great. He won’t admit it but we see it. This also leads to opportunities on campus that if he doesn’t have his sxxt together, he would never be able to excell in them.
To me this has nothing to do about getting all As. Very tough to do in engineering and still be an active participant in the college community (unless you don’t sleep… Lol). Plus work. Plus sports . It has more to being the best you can to reach your full potential. Does he still do some last minute stuff? Of course… ?.
