I am right now giving 4 stars. Most of things are not new. It is more like assimilating many books into one single book in an logical organized fashion. I was trying to make my annual goals. Just took this help to create a framework. This book is mostly theory. It could have had some more anecdotes. Anyways it is crisp. I just build my framework as and when reading without reading line by line. I hope 2019 is better and great.
Heard it all a million times before.
Detailed review coming soon!!
Old concepts put in a boring promotional manner.It's way too repetitive. Pain to read.Yes, some concepts were good but they were mostly taken from other books and blogs. Could read better books and get same info. This was a waste of time.
The book starts out really well. The magician(author) is heartfully pulling out bunnies from his hat . He, however, acknowledges that most of the bunnies are not his own but belong to his neighbors . And that gets me to wonder, 'Why show them if they aren't yours ? '. 'But then ,they are some good bunnies after all' says my mind.After a while , he shows you the same bunnies in different orders . So, I say " Never mind, let's see what's ahead ". So, I wait and wait. Waiting for some 'novel' bunni...
He writes some things you might already know. Some ideas from other authors too, but i guess all these self development ideas are rather entangled, so i guess there's no harm in that. It least now i know what other authors to look for. Its a pretty good book, although a bit repetitive.
read kindle sample, finished on sat 2/3/18. More lecturing / browbeating than I liked, so didn't buy full book. (Already got my answer from Brooke Castillo, and this seems less well understood than her work.)
We all have our time procrastinating. Feeling as if we are overwhelmed with to do list and daily chores. At some point, we just shrug it off and tell yourself, "I'll do it later (or worst tomorrow)". The scam phrases as they say. We may not admit it, but we all had those times. This book has pointed out a lot of relatively relating scenarios that makes it fun to read. It provided tips and suggestions to fight iprocrastinating completely and slowly managing your time by doing them in small tasks....
Short and good book. At first I thought that it is taking a little diversion from the original topic but very successfully expanded the subject to multiple domains solving intricacies in the subject of procrastination.
Good book. Filled with things I "knew" and explained how to put them into practice.

This is a good starting point for those who are struggling with procrastination. While most of the pages sound like repetition, there are some excellent compilation of ideas from other books of same genre. The author could have just compiled this book in just under 100 pages. I strongly recommend the readers to read the other books referred in this...Following are the list I extracted from this book. Good luck!Carol Dweck’s - Mindset: The New Psychology of Success“The 7 Secrets of the Prolific:
It is actually good advice. Many things you probably already know on your own but is good the read them and having them structured in a simple and organized manner.The book is a little repetitive but just like the title says, it is a simple guide to break procrastination habits.
Garbage
Key points from headway-1) Write your commitments for the next year in an app. Identify your core values and goals. Pick 5 main projects out of 25 you could concentrate on this year. Apply the SMART technique to make a 3-month goal for every five projects.2) Plan your weekly review session. Define your obligations, priority projects and time you can this week. Apply the 80/20 method. Reserve time on your calendar for your tasks, leisure, and other activities. Try days dedicated to a certain them...
Nada nuevo bajo el sol. Si has leído otros libros sobre cómo trabajar y evitar la procrastinación, no vas a encontrar nada original en este libro. En cambio si no has leído nada sobre el tema, puede serte de ayuda. Los he leído mejores y también peores.
Nice and crisp. The author writes honestly and gives some really great tips to tackle problem areas! The tone is really motivating and makes you want to go and be your best self. Maybe I will pick up his next book on habit stacking - a concept I have heard of and one that he briefly discusses in this book. I started this book sitting in the office while I had nothing to do because my laptop decided to start automatically updating itself (I had procrastinated on it as much as I could, hitting 're...
All in all, the book is worth reading. It will motivate you to be productive and work even without motivation which I totally lack these days. Most importantly, it satisfied my curiousity and expectations. Backed up with facts and researches too!9/10 overall rating.10/10 if without the ad sales talk and redundancy.#JensAHAReadviews#ReviewYou can also follow my book review on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Jennie-Lyns-...You can view my full review on this book here:https://www.facebook.com...
This book is VERY bid on lists. Make a list of your most important stuff then make a list of the least important stuff then make a list of the behaviors that tempt you to not finish the important stuff, etc. I highted a few good tips but ultimately there isn't much in here that breaks any new ground. Do unpleasant tasks first, tie that task to a reward, etc.
Kinda a glorified forum for productivity apps, but had some good advice. I liked the “eat the frog” Twain quote.
