This book had great tips on how to break down the list of things to do so as not to make them so overwhelming for the doer. It was also helpful to establish a habit and keep track of how to undertake the actions important for the person. I struggle with doing the thing I must do first--I feel paralyzed even if it's a simple task. I was able to learn tricks to rid myself of this anxiety and get it done. This book would be a great tool for Bullet Journalers.

This is a neat little book with some helpful tips that I hadn't been exposed to previously (which is rare when you've read even a few 'self-help' titles. Unlike other books in the genre, the author is not dogmatic and gives you a more relaxed and workable approach to executing the actions outlined. It's also an incredibly quick read (I finished it in one sitting). I'd recommend this to anyone who needs help motivating even if it's just to accomplish personal tasks.

I am a procrastinator. I admit it. It is something I struggle with daily. Once I have begun I can make progress on a project, until I run out of steam. It is the beginning and staying motivated and not becoming distracted that derail my results.
For that reason, I seem to love to read about goal setting and procrastination cures and even use that "study" as a way to procrastinate.
Well, this book and method may actually help get me back on track and moving forward.

Well researched and footnoted, using plenty of scientific data, studies and references, much of which I have admittedly come across before, the book is not written in text book speak. It has a conversational, nonthreatening style. Besides telling us about the method, and showing it for easier and longer lasting retention, this book explains in easily understood wording why these steps work.

This is a very clear, and well researched book that helps the reader move from procrastination to activity, and success. Lots of good exercises that anyone can follow to move through a project, or the many projects and goals in life. The book is non judgmental and presents a formula for success.
