Procrastination

What It Is, Why It's a Problem, and What You Can Do About It

By: Fuschia M. Sirois

Narrated by: Kate Udall

Why do we procrastinate? How can we stop wasting time, and finish our work?

Drawing on the latest theory and research, this book explains why people procrastinate, and provides practical, evidence-based strategies to help you stop delaying, complete your tasks, and fulfill your potential. At the heart of procrastination are your emotions and ability to regulate your mood. In this book you will learn how to dial down negative emotions, and replace old habits with new ones that can help you stay on track with your tasks and goals. You will also learn how to treat your procrastination with compassion, rather than harsh judgments or complicated analyses of your motivation.

Exercises in the book help you recognize why a task might be triggering negative feelings, plus how to be more self-compassionate, and how to build meaning into the everyday tasks that help you reach your goals. This book is ideal for anyone who struggles with procrastination, or knows someone who does, and who is looking for evidence-based insights and strategies for dealing with procrastination.

Difficult to listen, harder to finish.

If you struggle with procrastination, this book is not helpful. If you have spent any reading or listening time trying to address procrastination this book is a waste if time - move on. The narrator is bearable at 1.5 speed, but the content makes it increasingly difficult to listen to. Read this book only if you want someone with 20 years experience researching the topic (her words) tell you what you already know through living it.

Terrible

The content was dry, uninteresting, dated, over simplified, and very repetitive. I should have chosen a different title on the subject.
