The best book on the market for procrastinators

Last year I ordered four books on procrastination from Amazon.com. This one was the gem of the bunch. All the others told you to do what you're already doing: "Force yourself to do it, even if you don't want to." Well, if that worked, my mother would have cured me of the habit when I was twelve. What Fiore does is show you that it's exactly the attitude of self-punishment that makes you procrastinate. He shows you how to start working to achieve rewards, as opposed to working to avoid punishment or failure. We work when we expect to be rewarded in return, and can't muster the effort if we expect punishment whether we work or not.

This book *works*. I am one of those people who would procrastinate so badly on a term paper that it would never get turned in, and I would be wracked with guilt over it. My gpa sometimes dipped below 2.0., but for the past three semesters it has averaged 3.5.

One reviewer below recommends the book "Do It Now," because it has a more "mature" view of the problem. Folks, "Do It Now" will tell you that you're insecure and childish, and that all you need is to realize how silly you're being. At first, it sounds familiar, and for that reason you think it will help. But it doesn't. If you want to feel like procrastination is a hopeless problem that you'll always have, buy "Do It Now." Otherwise, "The Now Habit" is the one that will teach you how to overcome the problem *without* any guilt trips.

a book that can change your life.

The basic idea of this book is that people who procrastinate don't believe in their possibilities of success or their right to pleasure. Because they don't believe in the possibility of success, they postpone, then blame and punish themselves--deprive themselves of something they want to have or do. However, once punished, they feel they feel even more resentful of the harsh and nasty voice inside them that's demanding they work, and as a result they procrastinate still more and then feel even guiltier. They live like children a punishing parent has locked into a dreary solitary room until their character improves. Fiore made me recognize that I work for rewards, helped me to realize that with work the rewards will come, and that the ultimate goal of life is to enjoy it as much as we can---not to work as much as we can. Now when I work I put pleasure into the plan and see it as the outcome of the work. Thus the work itself is infused with the pleasure I've planned as my reward. I no longer see the goal of work as making a "new me" because the old one is a rotten, dirty, no-good procrastinator. Certainly some procrastinators need professional one-on-one psychological help; but for others this book may be the right key to the cell in which they're locked.

excellent book, highly recommended, well written

I put off a project for years. I'm the worst procrastinator I have ever met. After reading Dr. Fiore's book and using the "Unschedule" I not only completed my project, but now feel even more confident in coping with the fears and anxieties associated with procrastination. It has helped me live a more productive life. I highly recommend this book which, in my opinion, is the the best book on procrastination that I have ever read. Actually, the Now Habit is one of the best self-help books I have ever read (next to Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning).

Great Book!

This book is great if you are stuck trying to get the same things done and you find yourself not doing a thing except maybe plopping yourself in front of the television. I got this book out of the library and was 3 weeks late returning it so what does that say about me? I eventually ended up purchasing the book to work on my problem.
