Why We Procrastinate and How to Change


When we have so much to do, why do we still procrastinate? The opening chapter of this book presents current research that attempts to answer this question. The tone is conversational, so it’s not like reading a textbook, but it does give enough information to make the reader think about why they procrastinate. The chapter is succinct giving a lot of information in a short space. It makes the point that there is so much information available about why we procrastinate that the thought of tackling it can lead to more procrastination.

The book is structured around four sections: motivation, discipline, outcomes, and objectivity. The motivation section is tied in with our goals. What do you want to accomplish? Discipline presents ways to take action so that you can achieve your goals. Outcome has to do with the results of your actions, and objectivity presents ways to see reality more clearly.

In addition to theory, each section gives tools and exercises to help you end procrastination. The check points are helpful in assessing your progress. If you sincerely want to fulfill your dreams and stop putting off the tasks necessary to get what you desire, this book contains a wealth of information that will help you get there.

I received this book from Net Galley for this review.
