The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and…

Some seminarians I visited were all reading this book and since procrastination has always been one of my problems I read it too. The main point seems, in retrospect, to allow oneself to have some fun as a reward for getting the scutwork done. ( )

This is one of the better audios on procrastination that many people have read. Heard most of this before but liked how it was presented. He treats procrastination as a behavior not a character flaw and there is a great chapter on self talk.
Excellent link to a mind map of the audio.

I was lucky to have discovered this book. I read it to my husband on a recent road trip and we both went "Aha, that's why - now I know how to fix it". This book is good, smart reading without a guilt trip that paralyzes you. Our morning starts different now and we are determined to keep it going so it eventually changes how we live our life. Start reading! (Beate) ( )

I finished reading this book five minutes before writing this review. I borrowed it from my local library and the anti-procrastination techniques the book talks about were good enough to get me to finish the book several days before the due date. I've seen some of the book's recommended strategies mentioned elsewhere, but the book does a great job of bringing it all together. The one area that I thought could have used more material was in dealing with procrastination in others. Procrastination by work colleagues was only superficially mentioned and procrastination by kids was never mentioned!

The big test for this book will be how well the recommendations work in the long term. Time will tell! ( )

What a great book. Instead of just another time- or project-management book, this one explains the psychological reasons behind procrastination. It's not that you're lazy. It's not that you don't care.

The book explains what you've been telling yourself for years that causes procrastination, and what you need to say to stop. It also provides tips for managers or anyone who lives with a procrastinator.

The audiobook was an easy listen. ( )
