Sounds like a personality conflict to me, and you're using the techniques that would work on you (textbooks) to try to adjust his behaviour. That's not a healthy dynamic; you'd be better off trying to empathise with the guy and understand his perspective. Why isn't he enthusiastic to do what you want to do? Seems like he's dragging his heels and giving him information on time management isn't going to change his level of motivation. If you understood why he is not motivated then you could try to help address it.
