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.
