Customer Reviews
very helpful By Cosima Frieden
Rita Emmett names habits and feelings which are always there yet hard to courageously face. The exercices she gives are helpful too, and the quotes about each theme nicely chosen. Sometimes one whiches she had gone further in the psychological explanation of our procrastination trends, but then she would have written a book far more demanding to read.
Life-changing By hizbooker (Ga)
This is a great book!...honest, gentle with your guilt for all the things you should have done and haven't, and sooooo practical. Can't say enough good things about it. Some of my friends wanted to borrow it, but I'm not turning it loose for the rest of my life.
Excellent book By Andrew Russell (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
This book is not a magic bullet, but it is certainly a useful tool once you've recognized and accepted that procrastination is a problem in your work or your life.
Practical, easy tips for overcoming procrastination By Diana Delonzor (San Francisco, CA)
There are a number of procrastination books on the market, but this is by far the best for its simple solutions and practical insights. Like other books on the subject, the author deals with the psychological aspects of procrastination, but unlike other books, she keeps it simple, using real-life stories and examples. Highly recommended. NOTE: THIS REVIEW WAS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR OF "NEVER BE LATE AGAIN, 7 CURES FOR THE PUNCTUALLY CHALLENGED."
WOW! Finally I am saved By Aaron J. Barkl (Roseville, CA USA)
Great production, easy to read, applications for "up to the second" thinking. Finally something easy to study, compact, and totally comprehendable. For anyone who wants to put wasted time in the past forever, and be good enough to teach from it, this book will be a perfect fit. Don't procrastinate any longer. Buy it now!
Easy to read - useful info By N. Silver
I'd owned this book for a while and typically never got around to reading it (no joke). Finally, when I was called in for jury duty selection (an A.D.D. person's NIGHTMARE, I might add!), I brought the book along with a notebook and a pencil and I braced myself for a long day of sitting around. I was not selected for a trial, but I made good use of the time and I read book straight through, taking some good notes. The info has helped my very much and I re-read those notes from time to time for a "procrastination vaccination"!
Great insights! By K. Jarvis
This book is easy reading, flows well, and is quite entertaining. The first time I read this book, I was amazed at the insight included as to reasons people procrastinate. They are not stereotypical reasons associated with procrastination such as being lazy. I related to several forms of procrastination that I never recognized until I read this book. I also picked out the forms that my family members use as well, which was helpful. It actually helps you have a little more compassion and patience for those around you. I have read this book over and over. It's good to have a reminder once in a while.
