Procrastination is one of my major faults. I always push things back with excuses of I'm too tired to mess with it right now, or I have plenty of time so no need to rush. The fall back of this is that I put it off too long to where I have to rush to get it done. By reading this book I learned that there are ways to finish things that need doing without overwhelming my self yet at the same time be able to relax. Making a schedule and goals to what you want to have done by when helps tremendously. Getting rid of distractions such as tv, phones, music, or people that distract you from what you need to do. Author Jacob Westlin also stresses rewards for goals accomplished but also making yourself accountable for those that you didn't. As he showed in the beginning of the book that there are different methods of procrastination but also shows how each are affective or not and why. As a general rule I do better under pressure so sometimes putting off what needs to be done until closer to the deadline works best for me. For instance I am a cake decorator, if I try to plan or map out what I want to do something usually prevents the out come I want there fore I wait until the last minute and go with instinct. But for many other areas this is not a benefit. So if you are one for putting things off or pretending that it don't exist then reading Procrastination would help you out immensely teaching and guiding you in the right direction to complete your goals.
