The definitive book on the subject of procrastination.
This book is by far the best book I've ever read on balancing your work and home life, especially if you struggle with procrastination and/or perfectionism. That's a strong statement, but I've read lots of book on personal self-management and how to organize your time effectively (including "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey and "Getting Things Done" by David ...

Intellectual Honesty + Elegant Suggestions = Potent Change!
After having given this book a thorough read, I have found it to be the most thoughtful and intellectually honest book I have ever read on the subject. This is because, instead of treating the problem of procrastination as a simple problem, deserving only a facile prescription to "make it all better," Dr. Tullier treats it as the mult-faceted, nuanced and often insidious problem that it can ...

A Useful, Practical Guide for Eliminating Procrastination!
This book is an exciting change from all the other books on Procrastination. This book is not about habit, time management and organization, It's about identifying the causes and how to reprocess motivations. It is helping me to painlessly eliminate the roots of procrastination itself. I am discovering new freedom from shame and guilt, too, using the new "energy psychology." I recommend this book ...

What a great source of help
This was not my first nor last book on procrastination. If you're like me, you read self-help books seeking out the little nugget of gold that is going to help make your life better once you put into practice your newfound wisdom. That's just what I find with Linda Sapadin's book. While others may frown upon her mode of classification, its forgivable given the mountainous job it is to delve ...

Joking about procrastination is funny only because it hurts
In page after page I find myself gasping as William Knaus explains the different ways I have developed to procrastinate my life away. Knaus describes procrastination as a complex mixture of discomfort, self-doubts, perfectionism, fear of failure, anxiety, rebellion and depression developed over a lifetime. He explains how heaping blame on yourself only drives you to procrastinate more and he ...

excellent book
I bought this in conjunction with "The Now Habit". This is quite a different book, much more verbose (but in a good way) and tends to get a bit deeped, in my view, into the psychology of procrastination. Which is useful. If I absolutely had to choose, I would choose "The Now Habit". But I would strongly suggest that you read this book also. It does cover things that the Now Habit does not ...

Best: eliminates procrastination with action, not guilt
I got tired of books that say you're lazy, that had a lot of cute explainations about what kind of procrastinator you are or were systems that would overwhelm many a procrastinator who was just overwhelmed in the first place. This book explains procrastinators in short order in a way that would apply to any procrastinator. It doesn't waste anytime getting down to how to get yourself into action ...

Don't put off getting this tape!
Overcoming Procrastination is a great audio tape that I enjoyed listening to. There are so many good techniques here to use to overcome procrastination. Procrastination is a big problem that plagues many people, myself included. I listened to these tapes in my car and it was really insightful. Susan Fowler is a really good speaker who sounds enthusiastic. She uses many real-life examples to get ...

Procrastination and Blocking

Robert Boice
Praeger Publishers
comprehensive and insightful
I wasn't aware so much was known about procrastination (and blocking) until reading this book. The author points out that although procrastination often goes unnoticed, and has costs, it can be addressed with careful attention and patience. One caveat is that this is intended to address subtle questions carefully and precisely. Thus, if someone is looking for a breazy read, this book would be ...

Gave me new perspectives--really helpful!
I have thoroughly enjoyed (and benefitted from) the perspective on procrastination that I received from Kerul Kassel's book, "Productive Procrastination". I was first intrigued by the title. Once I delved into the book, I was more intrigued by the content. As I pile more and more "things that HAVE to get done" on my plate, it is easy to start putting off tasks and then start focusing more on ...

A great book for student procrastinators
Finally a book that addresses student-specific reasons for procrastination. This book gives insight into the six types of procrastinators and lets you categorize your type through short quizzes. Although it offers a lot of information about WHY we procrastinate, I wish the book said more about HOW to stop this terrible problem. I'd like to see audio tapes made for the book's creative ...
