Product Description

Almost everyone procrastinates. For some, the impact can be serious, causing damaged relationships at home and at work. For most people, though, procrastination is simply a frustrating or troublesome habit they know they should be able to overcome. You can. This program will show you how.

However great or small a procrastinator you are, Rita Emmett will inspire you and coach you on how to kick the habit. With advice drawn from her personal triumph over procrastination and from people she has met at her acclaimed seminars, she will empower you to:

  • identify the behavioral patterns you use to put things off
  • apply proven "anticrastination" tips to achieve your goals
  • develop strategies to move forward when you're stuck
  • design a plan to declutter your home and office

    Filled with practical, useful, common-sense advice and real-life stories of people who have overcome procrastination, this program is as entertaining as it is rewarding. Rita Emmett's proven strategies will help you change your attitude toward your work and play, and help you regain control of your time and your life!

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!

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!

Disappointing 7 Aug 2006
Format: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!)
