Understand your procrastination and break through to productivity

Many different factors can trigger procrastination. The good news is, you’re not lazy or undisciplined, and you can achieve real productivity. Discover the psychological factors that drive your procrastination habits and unlock the secrets to overcoming them. With this research-based approach, you can learn to stop procrastinating, finish projects, and accomplish your goals.

Begin by unpacking the common thought processes and emotional roadblocks that trap you in cycles of problematic behavior. Apply that awareness to each step of getting things done, using practical evidence-based techniques that address the root causes of procrastination and time management problems. When you are empowered to work along with your brain, rather than against it, you’ll be able to take control and create lasting change.

This empowering choice in psychology books helps you:

Examine core issues―Look at possible mental health issues that often exacerbate procrastination, like low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and others.
Succeed step-by-step―Work through procrastination one step at a time: prioritize, find motivation, overcome avoidance, get started, focus, follow through, and finish.
Get perspective―Explore real-life anecdotes of people struggling with procrastination to gain insight into how it works in your life―and help you identify its causes.

Topics covered broadly; it's a short read and is not exhaustive. I would guess most procrastinators might find some aspect of themselves in this book, as did I to some extent, however I find further exploration is necessary. It did provide some insight and a tip or two useful to my personal situation, but mostly it brought to light there are reasons for this behavior, it can be dealt with, and there are reasons to hope for relief. 🙂

Makes you take a deep look at yourself

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2022

The author focuses on the
person and not just the
chores. I realized after reading this book that my
procrastination is stemmed
from my lack of decisiveness. I cant decide where to start. I cant decide what to do with unwanted items. I cant decide what to keep , what to throw, where to store items. This lack of being able to make a decision about how to organize my home has kept me on the procrastination mode for over a year. Using the technique of timing my work, stop for a break, timing
my work, etc. I was able to take small steps towards my goal and am happy to say that all the small steps
accomplished my goal. This is a great book to reflect on yourself and understand why you procrastinate. Once you get that, its easier to move in and do what you need to do.

La emoción detrás de procrastinación

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

Creo que lo que más me ayudo a entender este libro es como estan ligadas las emociones a mis actividades. Usualmente evito actividades que me generan confrontación, y no había caido en cuenta de ello. Me gustó el enfoque de este libro. Explica claramente las razones por las que somos aplazadores crónicos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2022

It’s a short book full of subtance. It addresses our problem with procrastination by tackling what procrastination is about and how to deal with it.

One thing that this book taught me is self-compassion. I realized I have been a very critical friend to myself instead of being a good and supportive one as I am to my friends.

Another thing is the ZERO commitment strategy. Now, I’m no longer dwelling on self criticism because I finally undesrtood that action is better than perfection. I realized I would accomplish more if I start doing - one little action at a time than just sitting and waiting for the situation to become perfect.

Cheers to the author! All appreciation to your work 🙏🏻🙌🏼

Wow! I definitely chose the right book!

I purchased this for myself & read the intro, I started telling my husband about it & read a small part that was all about me. I read some to him (while he was cooking dinner), so I just read the intro, it was so hard to stop, he wants to read it together WHAAAT! Yeah so intrigued, I’m excited he wants to read it together, 18 years & never experienced that but he might have to read it on his own. I read chapter 1 & it’s really hard to put down. Today is Friday so hopefully we can read it together over the weekend. He is not a procrastinator but it will help him understand me better. Not that I’ve always been a procrastinator, in fact I was once ocd & very motivated but life changing events & depression changed many things.
I look forward to finishing this book & using its many lessons.

So....I decided to put off fixing my Attachment issues in favor of working on my Procrastination issues 🙃🤪😂😂 and boy am I glad I did. Not even 90 pgs in and already she's put into words what I have been unable to describe as the struggle my 63 yrs of living has been........and she's just slightly less than half my age 🤦‍♀️
Working on other issues should be a breeze after this!

Most informative and practical of all books on procrastination I have read so far. I am taking notes as I go and put visual reminders for myself to apply strategies suggested in this book. Important part is the emotional component of procrastination and avoidance of uncomfortable emotions as driving factor. If you are to dive into the issue, start with this book.
