Product Description

Almost everyone procrastinates. For some the impact can be serious, causing damaged relationships at home and at work. For most people, procrastination is a troublesome habit they know they should be able to overcome. Rita Emmett is the one to inspire you to move forward. As a recovering procrastinator, Emmett' knows firsthand how procrastinators think, the circumstances that trigger and sustain putting off behaviour and what procrastinators need and want. With advice drawn from her own experience and that of people she has met at her acclaimed seminars, Emmett empowers procrastinators to identify the behavioural styles and patterns they use for putting things off, apply proven antiprocrastination tips and techniques for achieving goals, and develop strategies to move forward when stuck or reverting to patterns.

5.0 out of 5 stars after 43 years of sitting on my bum I finally got up!, 21 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now (Paperback)

Within days of reading it - I had a new job and so many niggling little jobs done I felt like a new person. One of the best of it's type I've ever read. Fun - easy to read - compact enough to carry in the bag on the bus to work - small bite-size chunks of practical advice. It's not preachy it's not patronising and it doesn't take itself completely seriously - but it WORKS!!!!! I still quote it constantly and I've bought it for all my friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars How did she know I do that?, 2 Dec 2003

By	Larry Hehn "author & speaker, www.larryhehn.com" (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now (Paperback)

This is not what I expected. When I picked up this book, I was prepared for some generic time management principles surrounded by some motivational hype that would pump me up and then leave me flat a short while later. I'm not quite sure why...I suppose I just thought that procrastination was more of a built-in character flaw than a lifestyle choice.

Am I glad that I was wrong! In the introduction, Rita Emmett explains that procrastination is not part of your character. Rather, it is a habit that can be changed. Using plenty of real-life examples, Emmett helps us identify areas of procrastination in our lives, discover their source, and apply proven strategies to overcome them.

This book helps you get right down to business. The format is very friendly, with quick tips, top ten lists, quotes and illustrations scattered throughout. It even has a few "extra credit" questions and activities to help you start applying what you have learned right away.

I opened this book as a skeptic. After reading it cover to cover, I'm a believer! My basement is the cleanest it has been in over ten years, my kitchen sink has a new fixture, and today I'm going to fix that annoying drip in the upstairs bathroom. What have you been putting off? Follow this handbook and get it done!

Larry Hehn, author of Get the Prize: Nine Keys for a Life of Victory

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 7 Aug 2006

By	Listener (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now (Paperback)

I recently bought The Procrastinator's Handbook (audio version)

I'm afraid I am badly disappointed with it.
For a start I found it far too long for what the author has to say, padded out with random opinions and irrelevant and uninteresting anecdotes, with no structure to the theme whatsoever. I found it totally humourless.

I have soldiered through the first disc and half of the second and it is now abandoned unfinished.

Also it is read in a bossy and hectoring tone which I find extraordinarily irritating.

(It is, however, nicely presented in its packaging!)
