This book is the single most effective book I have found to deal with the problem of procrastination. It approaches the problem from a new perspective that really hits home for a life-long procrastinator. Thank you, Dr. Fiore, for the real help instead of just another book telling you to do it now!

This book rocks. It delves into the real reasons behind why we procrastinate. For example, it gives me insight into why I am writing this review instead of preparing for a very important meeting that I have tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help you and I get closer to achieving our goals.

I really like this book and even as I am just beginning to implement Dr. Fiore's tips I can see a change. I must say that the very first couple of disks are hard to listen to, I would start with disk 5 or 6, continue on to 7 and then start back with disk 1 and continue through. Having context for where the book is headed makes the early disks much more helpful. I recommend this book highly, non the less.

This book has helped in changing my way of thinking from procrastinator to "producer." I am only half way through the book at this point but it is very good so far. I highly recommend this to anyone who catches themselves saying "I should" do this or "I have" to do that. This book focuses a lot on positive self talk and gives you the tools and language you need to change your bad habits.

I give this book six stars, as it is helping me (an overwhelmed workaholic) to overcome a lifelong problem with procrastination. Really. Just from a book, albeit a great book!
The author, Neil Fiore, defines procrastination as "a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision." Procrastination is a strategy to obtain temporary relief from stress, not a character defect or a personal or moral failure (as I'd thought before reading this book).
The book addresses key issues underlying procrastination so that by the time you have finished with the book you are prepared to overcome the habit of procrastination in your life. For example, for me one obstacle I've struggled with (but didn't know it before reading the book) was "the fear that you must deprive yourself of leisure time in order to satisfy some unseen judge". Guilt-free play was something I never did; I rarely played at all, and if I did I felt guilty. The author shows you how to build guilt-free play into your schedule so that you are paradoxically MORE productive rather than less. Another example is I figured out that I viewed my projects as reflections of my worth as a person; the book gave me self-talk so that I can separate my self-esteem from the work I do. These are just two examples; I'm sure that whatever your issues with procrastination, you'll find them addressed here, and then be equipped with the tools to overcome them.
Here is a great quote that the author uses from William James: "Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." If you're like me and want to end the tyranny of your "To Do" list once and for all, you will absolutely not be disappointed!
Highest recommendation!
