Hi
DH is in urgent need of one to one tuition in time management and stress management in relation to his work. Ironically he does not have time to take off work to attend a course so is looking for someone who can deal with him on a one to one basis. I have tried to get him books and things on the subject but he is not a great reader and would benefit more from personal instruction. We are in the Dublin area.

Don't think they would work either, because he basically lives by the motto " never do today what you can put off til tommorrow", so DVD's/CD's would sit there gathering dust whilst I nagged him to watch them. Whereas having to physically meet a person would suit better.

To be honest, I'm not sure time management is really the issue here. Time management helps you manage your time to increase productivity in the time available.... it doesn't suddenly add motivation to an unmotivated worker.
 
Would recommend life coaching for this. A good coach could cut through the perceived issues and get to the core of what is really going on. Let me know if you would like a recommendation.
 
Sounds like a procrastination rather than time management issue per se. CBT might help.
 
Might we be entering dangerous territory? -There are recommendations here for psycho-therapeutic treatments, but I'm not sure how many of the posters above are qualified to make a (medical / psychological / psychiatric) diagnosis based on the information posted let alone make recommendations regarding treatment.

I think we should stop now unless we can respond directly to OP's original request.
 
Are you referring to CBT? If so in my opinion it's simply a framework for logical/rational thinking not a "psycho-theraputic treatment" per se. Certainly does not need a medical professional to prescribe it and it is something that most people can probably benefit from (i.e. not just people with chronic/crisis problems).

Since the original poster mentions "stress" I would agree that the person in question should contact their GP as their first port of call and be guided by what they suggest.
 
If the person is not motivated enough to read or watch DVD about it then there is not much anyone can suggest here. He needs to be prepared to put some effort into getting help rather than thinking a quick 1-1 chat will fix everything. Agree that a GP visit would be the first step.
