Book Reviews of The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play
Book Review: A realistic solution to procrastination
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been one to claim "I work better under pressure", it started in college. Obviously this notion that cramming two weeks' worth of work in 15 hours the night before it's deadline is an illusion/self handicap. I have trouble starting stupid things like sorting mail, emailing people back, practicing piano, etc.
Fiore begins by explaining why we procrastinate in a very humanistic, compassionate manner. This was helpful as I am one to say and think "how is it possible that I did not do today" and beat myself up about it. As I continue that behavior of making promises to myself and not following through I compromise a lot of self-worth and confidence.
The plan to correct this learned behavior is (genius) to focus on your leisure activities and daily rituals. He was dead on that the thought of work immediately triggers an emotional response that you will not be able to see friends, go to dinner/movies, work out ... Using certain positive reinforcements, so eventually you will have a positive association with work instead of an aversion.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a new approach and is serious about changing their behavior. I've read different time management/organizational books, but it doesn't matter if you KNOW how to do it when you're not doing anything.
