Take it one brick at a time. That is what the author recommends for us procrastinators. She also offers a little antidote at the beginning of each chapter to actually motivate us to read to find out how that immediate solution can cause that “brick” to explode. Although I don’t consider myself a super-procrastinator (of course, I may be in denial), advice about making schedules and lists, realistic goal-setting, and avoiding distracting environments are advice that can help all of us. An important consideration the author made when explaining how to overcome  procrastination was our overall physical and mental health. There are so many things that may be out of sync in our bodies and taking the time to visit your doctor and to be aware of our mental health is a crucial step to take before attempting to overcome the roadblocks Schweder revealed. Sometimes I do feel like the entire day has passed so quickly and I did nothing constructive at all. If you take on these tasks presented by Schweder brick by brick, you will no doubt have a better outlook on your home and work life.
