The Procrastination Cure: 21 Proven Tactics For Conquering Your Inner Procrastinator, Mastering Your Time, And Boosting Your Productivity!

This book, The Procrastination Cure, is a positive "one of a kind on Procrastion" to assist you in challenging your procrastination choices by using various techniques and recommendations. Very often, many people push off doing a "to do item" that needs to be done. We realize the importance, but since it takes time and effort, we would rather do something enjoyable. Later, as time progresses forward, we realize that this "to do item" now has some serious consequences from not being done. Our feelings are impacted in a negative way, bringing on a feeling of guilt. How can I be better at getting important "to do's completed". Please take a look at this "copied" statement from tactic 3 - "Reward Yourself" - But what if you could enjoy the fun activities while still completing everything on your to-do list? You can! It’s just a matter of setting up a smart reward system. Zahariades, Damon. The Procrastination Cure: 21 Proven Tactics For Conquering Your Inner Procrastinator, Mastering Your Time, And Boosting Your Productivity! (p. 73).

I think so many of the reviews are funny because as a procrastinator it did take me awhile to actually get to this book. I’m not good at making my own deadlines. But now that I’ve dug into it it’s been very enjoyable and knowing that the writer has also been a procrastinator and gives lots of examples and references to how to overcome this pesky habit, makes this book speak to me that much more. Ready or not to make a change in your life check this one out. It has practical advice that’s simple and relatable. Decide you are ready to make a change and buy this book.

As I was reading this book, I made one simple observation: I procrastinated reading it because I’ve become accustomed to living a procrastinator’s life and I was afraid of the work I needed to do to change it. This learning was worth 10 times the price of the book. Damon writes a very simple (not simplistic) and helpful book here that is filled with practical ideas. Don’t just read it. Practice it! My name is Jim, and I am a chronic procrastinator…

Observation -- to impound great thoughts into one's brain requires that the data flow path include repetition. Do you recall learning the multiplication tables? Repetition!! This book is EXTREMELY powerful with many nuggets of 'how to' CURE PROCRASTINATION. I.E., very effective bench posts are numbered, presented, and explained. The book, however, describes them rather briefly; or more accurately, without prolific prose of EXAMPLES. I.E., I'd appreciate creating ficticious characters who suffer from a particular affliction and by employing a certain approach they succeed. Possibly two or three characters for each nugget. Lacking this word bulking method, I offer another approach = PLAN TO READ THIS BOOK MULTIPLE TIMES. Each chapter is of length such that they can easily be digested in 10 minutes each. Set aside 10 minutes each day to: (-1-) read ONE chapter each time. THEN: (-2-) reflect on such topic and how YOU CAN APPLY IT TO YOURSELF. READ/LEARN then APPLY TO YOU. And I also strongly urge NOT consuming multiple chapters at one setting. Do only ONE CHAPTER. Don't just read descriptions but ACTIVELY do a TOTAL consumption; I.E. "7 × 8 = 56," must be instant recall. Plan to (-A-) Read book to get a survey of steps. (-B-) Re-Read book to deeply understand and memorize. (-C-) Re-Read to fully connect step to YOU.

I purchased The Procrastination Cure to work on my bad procrastination habits and find tips and tricks that might work for me. I enjoyed the organized, applicable, and very easy to read tactics. I found myself motivated to work on my procrastination and liked that the author could relate to your problems and offer solutions that have worked for him. I can understand how the tactics can be repetitive or dull for those who have read self-help books before and I did find part I of the book to be sort of boring as well. Lifeless, tedious, and repetitive for the veteran self-help reader; engaging and motivating for a rookie like me. ⅗ stars.

This is my second book I've read written by Damon Zachariades and even more enjoyable. His style is like listening to a friend - on point, solid recommendations and doable. But his moments of wit made me laugh (Ok, guffaw) several times. Next one "The Art of Finding Flow", and then "JOY OF IMPERFECTION". Thank you Damon Zachariades! jc

I decided to download this book when I was at the end of my rope trying to motivate myself to complete an important assignment for a college class. The tips in this book helped me take immediate action, and I completed the assignment earlier than normal and to a higher standard than my normal work since I had more time to work on it. The book is concise and to the point, which makes it easy to take immediate action and put the various methods to use. I look forward to re-reading the book and incorporating more of the tips in my daily life. But so far this book has already had an incredible effect on my procrastination! I’ve recommended this book to some of my friends and look forward to seeing how it impacts their productivity too!

Zahariades has provided the answers to questions i have struggled with most of my life: why do i procrastinate? What can i do to stop it? And the strategies he recommends are simple, though not easy, and very practical.

Repetitive and nothing new to be learned

J'ai pris énormément de plaisir à lire cette pépite. Je le recommande fortement.

Working from home because of the pandemic has been "fun" but I've realized that procrastination is a BIG ISSUE for me... I did struggle with this problem during my master's program some years ago but it took me a while to figure out that this is what's been hampering my productivity now as well. I had read (and re-read) "The Procrastinator's Digest" by T. A. Pychyl - definitely a good resource - but I needed something new to get me started. I ended up buying "The Procrastination Cure" and it definitely made a difference! Even though I "had known" most of the advice given in this book, it was super helpful to "hear" all this from a new source. And the format of the book is great - as the title says, "21 Proven Tactics." They may not ALL speak to you, but even if half of them do, you are on your way! Just get started :)

I have read many self help books but such type of insight is rarest for me ….must read for recommit and step forward in life

This has been a great read. It’s nice and short and gets straight to the action. I’ll be implementing these tactics and hope it helps me to achieve what I need to achieve.
