Jerry's Reviews > The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play

I wanted to write this review, but have been putting it off. That's a joke. If you read the book, you know what I mean.

I do suffer from putting things off. Not everything, just those things that, for some reason,hit me as complex and time consuming. Dr. Fiore not only helped me to better understand the nature of my reasoning, but to also realize that I am not broken. He goes even further in offering specific tools and techniques to get yourself out of those bad habits.

For me, there are a couple of elements that have made a world of difference. First, is learning to focus on starting, not the finished product. In doing that and giving myself 20-30 minute work spaces followed by a break to do something I want to do is the second tool I use most often. There are many more tools provided, but those two made an immediate impact for me.

It has made a change in just a few weeks in both my attitude and productivity.

Not bad, if I say. For that, and that alone, I rate this 5 stars. If you are already a person who successfully juggles a lot of things, then you may not get much from this book, but if you still have halting performance in prioritizing your life and getting things done, then this book will have something in it that you will be able to use.
