I found this to be an excellent book. I enjoyed the work sheet questions at the end of each chapter and found some of the the methods to be helpful. Although even though I've finished reading the book I haven't quite gotten around to answering all the assignments and implementing all the methods. In theory I think they'll work well, it's just a matter of putting them in action. The book was written in a conversational tone and was a joy to read. ( )

what an excellent book. The patterns of behaviour it describes are me exactly. I've been buying these sorts of self-improvement books off and on for a few years now but this is the first one that really seemed to me to get to the heart of my particular problem - untidy desk, projects delayed, personal finances not up to date, not enough exercise. Lots of little homework exercises. $2.50 well spent (I hope). ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To my husband, best friend, and favorite traveling companion, Bruce Karder, and to the shining delights of our lives, our blended family of five kids and four kids-in-law who give us so much joy in so many ways, including blessing us with seven glorious grandchildren (who are also smart, talented, gorgeous, and more, but I don't want to brag). Thank you, God.

Almost everyone procrastinates. For some it causes problems and strains relationships at home and at work. For most people, though, procrastination is a frustrating or troublesome habit we would like to overcome. Rita Emmett will inspire you to get started. With humor and with advice drawn from her own triumph over procrastination and that of people she has met at her acclaimed seminars, she gives you proven tips and techniques for:
- identifying how and why you put things off
- motivating yourself to begin—and finish—unpleasant tasks
- organizing your time and efforts to achieve your goals
- developing strategies to move forward when stuck or reverting to old procrastination patterns
Filled with useful advice and real-life stories of people who have overcome procrastination, and written with a winning touch, The Procrastinator’s Handbook is as entertaining as it is helpful and rewarding. After reading it, you'll find that your self-esteem and your productivity grow.
