So what's in the book?
“Totally solved my problems with study. I used to be an inconsistent studier. Now, I frequently set records for myself in terms of the amount of work I get done. This works!” (Sarah, Student, UCC)
“I know I will get the points I need now. I Have done more work in the month after reading this book than I did in the entire 6 months before reading it. The method is so easy and I never feel a sense of sacrifice. I wish I had had something like this earlier. Great book.” (John, Leaving Cert. Student)
"Reading this book was very much like having a conversation with someone who you can trust because what he says makes so much sense. There are so many books of this kind on the market and I've read a good few of them. Next Level Learning, however, actually resonated with me and motivated me to write a review and to start applying the learning to my own life. My attitude to doing certain things (of the long finger variety) has dramatically changed. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels academic procrastination is getting in the way of their success. Parents, Secondary School Students, College Students, Mature Students, Want to Study but can't Students ... this is a great resource." (Jackie Lohan, C.Dip NLP/Hyp)

In this book, I'm going to share with you all the secrets involved in overcoming procrastination in your study work, and finally getting the results you know you're capable of. Best of all, it's all entirely free!
This book will explain why you procrastinate and how to overcome it once and for all.

Here, we're going to shed some light on why you engage in this behavior (constantly putting off things you know are important) even though you know how devastating this is, both in terms of your grades and your own mental well-being. I know how stressful this can be, believe me!
So let's begin. After reading this book, you're problems with procrastination will be a thing of the past - I guarantee it!
