The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing it Now

Am I glad that I was wrong! In the introduction, Rita Emmett explains that procrastination is not part of your character. Rather, it is a habit that can be changed. Using plenty of real-life examples, Emmett helps us identify areas of procrastination in our lives, discover their source, and apply proven strategies to overcome them.

This book helps you get right down to business. The format is very friendly, with quick tips, top ten lists, quotes and illustrations scattered throughout. It even has a few "extra credit" questions and activities to help you start applying what you have learned right away.

I opened this book as a skeptic. After reading it cover to cover, I'm a believer! My basement is the cleanest it has been in over ten years, my kitchen sink has a new fixture, and today I'm going to fix that annoying drip in the upstairs bathroom. What have you been putting off? Follow this handbook and get it done!

Within days of reading it - I had a new job and so many niggling little jobs done I felt like a new person. One of the best of it's type I've ever read. Fun - easy to read - compact enough to carry in the bag on the bus to work - small bite-size chunks of practical advice. It's not preachy it's not patronising and it doesn't take itself completely seriously - but it WORKS!!!!! I still quote it constantly and I've bought it for all my friends!
