5.0 out of 5 stars A practical relief programme for the serious procrastinator, 23 Dec 1999
By J. Davis "Biggles" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book not only helped me understand why I procrastinate (even on things I want to do!), but told me what to do to cure the problem. It genuinely transformed my life well before I got to the end of it, and has been an absolute relief. It doesn't repeat the same old Time Management instructions, but gives you a whole new approach. I'd read every book I could find on how to organise myself, I knew what I had to do, I had everything listed and prioritised - I just couldn't persuade myself to do anything, before the last minute deadline. This book gave me so many simple answers. I'm an international management trainer, and I've recommended it to lots of friends, colleagues and course participants. Don't buy it for time management tips. Do buy it if you recognise yourself as a serial procrastinator - you'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A top book on procrastination, 11 April 2005
By stephen Luff (Worthing, Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Once in a while a book comes along that makes perfect sense. This is a book written by someone who is extremely wise on this subject. A sage-like quality about it. No surprise that Neil has studied this subject for years. The quality in this book shows.
Nearly all the books I've read have failed in their mission to get the reader motivated.
This book is different. Everyone is unique and everyone has their own entry points. For me I loved the idea of designing one's day around what one really enjoys, leisure, hobbies, exercise etc. Then peppered around this one build's half hour slots of time to do some work towards one's goal.
This book builds on the ideas given. Not neccessarily in chronological order. More a 3D model. A layer that also really clicked for me was that instead of focusing on finishing this task, project, goal one has a series of starts. One Starts towards the goal for 30 minutes. Then after this a reward, some fun in life. Then back to the next 30 minute session.
What's reccommended is to take a 2 minute pre-project focus to get the mind in the right vibration(my word) before beginning.

Procrastinating uses up valuable energy. It's a protection of sorts, but it takes energy to procrastinate. The stories of clients in the book makes one feel that this is more common that we tend to think. Some suffer more than others. For me it's been around for 75% of my life and got worse over the last few years.
Having taken voluntary redundancy last November, I thought starting a new career was a simple affair with all this time available. It wasn't time, it was an out of control procrastination junkie. However, it's not always so obvious. In Barbara De Angelis's book Confidence, she speaks of 3 types of confidence, behavioral, spiritual and emotional. In my view if you've got procrastiation as the savior of your pain, you will most assurely lack behavioral confidence in yourself.
This will be money so well spent. It's like having an expert right in your hands, helping you every step of the way.
For me I realised that I wasn't living a life of fun, I was still waiting for something to happen before my life begun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps you understand and overcome a crippling habit, 7 Sep 2007
By Phillistein "eager reader" (Margate, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I've read hundreds of self-help books, but this blows almost everything else out of the water. This book helped me to understand the reasons why I procrastinate and showed how this habit leads to worry, loss of confidence and chronic underperformance - even in areas that I had not considered to be linked to procrastination. It's like suffering a mysterious illness and feeling that, at last, there is a proper diagnosis and cure. It even shows how the classic shaming and bullying tactics others use to 'spur us on' only serve to fuel the emotions which block natural performance and success. This is now available on audiobook, read by the author. Play it on the way to work and improve your performance!
