The book does a fantastic job of providing just the right amount of detail to provide the inspiration necessary to break out of the chains of procrastination. The book and its concepts are so accessible because the author shares very personal stories to illustrate the impacts, which makes the topics highly relatable and causes the reader to identify with the message.

Great for those wanting a reminder on procrastination

It’s a good read on ways to deal with procrastination, but at some points of the book the author tends to drag on his thoughts which is fine for some people, but I personally would like to move straight to the point

The author has captured just about every characteristic one can imagine in this masterpiece. It covers personal life, business, and career oriented blockers that everyone has experienced. I wish I had a book like this in college, where I wrote a paper on this topic - the night before it was due! I had similar early career and life experiences so wrote to learn about it. But this book will help you address these issues.

The author delves into how behavior matters and provides strategies and process to take these head on to minimize or eliminate the distractions that cause delays and procrastination. From how you live your daily life to how successful you are in your chosen career, the author has included methodologies to help guide the reader down the right path.

Consider your mindset, how you learn, how you can benefit from failures, how to deal with fears, how to eliminate various distractions and the guidelines to implement action plans.

It’s important to note that the author uses all personal experiences as he has lived with these issues and found the ways to work through and around them. These personal experiences will resonate with just about everyone in my opinion!

In summary, this book will help almost everyone in some way. Don’t procrastinate any longer and get and read this book!

A fantastic actionable guidebook on getting things done!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

If you’re looking for a guidebook to help you move forward on projects that continue to get set aside, look no further. This book is a solid dose of inspiration that will inspire you to get things done. Not only will you be given practical suggestions for doing the hard things first, but you will also be presented with the primary reasons why people procrastinate and avoid the bigger projects in life.

I think the section about the underlying reasons for procrastination was my favorite section because I recognized some of my own tendencies. When you don’t have any self-awareness about your bad habits, it’s just not easy to create lasting change. This is a very well-written and organized book that will encourage you to make changes, but it will also require you to do a reasonable amount of self-reflection. If you’re ready to put in the work and take action, read this book. You’ll be happy you did.

I loved reading this book a few pages at a time. It actually works! And now I actually work! I like highlighting and circling the things I like in the book as I go along. That way I can come back to the parts that motivated me the most, and not read the whole page. Lots of different strategies.
