Product Description:
Almost everyone procrastinates. For some it causes problems and strains relationships at home and at work. For most people, though, procrastination is a frustrating or troublesome habit we would like to overcome. Rita Emmett will inspire you to get started. With humor and with advice drawn from her own triumph over procrastination and that of people she has met at her acclaimed seminars, she gives you proven tips and techniques for:
- identifying how and why you put things off
- motivating yourself to begin—and finish—unpleasant tasks
- organizing your time and efforts to achieve your goals
- developing strategies to move forward when stuck or reverting to old procrastination patterns
Filled with useful advice and real-life stories of people who have overcome procrastination, and written with a winning touch, The Procrastinator’s Handbook is as entertaining as it is helpful and rewarding. After reading it, you'll find that your self-esteem and your productivity grow.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Decent, but there's better
I found this audio book to be mildly helpful - mostly full of generic tips I've heard many times before, with too many stories to illustrate her points for my taste.I also bought "Getting things Done" by David Allen, which I found MUCH more useful.
Rating:  - Written for housewives and middle management
It's quite disheartening to know that you have a problem, and then buy into a resource which many people swear by, such as this book, only to find out that it is completely useless.For me, this book started out badly in the very introduction and got worse and worse.
In her introduction, Emmett describes procrastination as a "funny subject". What is so funny about having your professional and personal life go down the drain because you can't get it together?When I want to be helped, ... Read More
Rating:  - Solutions for all the reasons we procrastinate
Procrastination is difficult to change as there are so many reasons to do it.This book addresses the variety of causes and how to overcome them.I really like the layout of the book which invites readers to dip in and sample.It deals with the different fears (of being rejected, of making the wrong decision, of change, of responsibility, etc.) that paralyze us and keep us from forward action.
Each chapter ends with an exercise to do.If you try them out, you end up setting goals, uncluttering, ... Read More
Rating: - A quick read...if you dont put it off until later.
I started reading this book 4 months ago, but just finished it last week. For a book so small that doesn't say much.
This book delivers on humor and very practical advice, but for me it just seemed to say things I already knew such as keeping a to-do list that breaks major tasks into mini-tasks. To be fair, there was other advice, but nothing that just made me sit up and transform my behavior.
Having said that, I don't think it is a bad book and it wasn't unpleasant to read, but ... Read More
Rating: - Practical, easy tips for overcoming procrastination
There are a number of procrastination books on the market, but this is by far the best for its simple solutions and practical insights.Like other books on the subject, the author deals with the psychological aspects of procrastination, but unlike other books, she keeps it simple, using real-life stories and examples. Highly recommended.NOTE: THIS REVIEW WAS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR OF "NEVER BE LATE AGAIN, 7 CURES FOR THE PUNCTUALLY CHALLENGED."
