As someone who runs his own business, not getting things done is the most destructive thing I occasionally do. Usually that happens because I put things off. Procrastination is something everyone occasionally does, and does in varying degrees at different stages of life. In high school I was terrible about getting things started, but in college I ramped up my efforts and was an honors student. Then in my working life I've had fits of lackluster productivity mixed in with years of tremendous success.The one thing that all my successful times and years have in common is that I got things started and done in a timely manner. I didn't put anything off for later when I could get it done now. Yet through all that time, and even recognition that I was at my best when things got done quickly, I didn't really have an understanding of why. Then I read this booklet.Let me say right now that this is a very quick read. It's not a book, yet the information it gives you can change your productivity tremendously. The core of the information is a layman explanation of a single psychological principal that relates to procrastination and getting things done. What I recognized in myself is that during my more productive years is that I dove into more things, more readily, which relates to the 60 second tip the author gives.I can't say this is the only book you'll need to organize your time if your life is in complete chaos. But I can confidently assure anyone, that if your main problem is getting things started so that they get done on time. Then this book will provide you with valuable advice that will boost what you start and finish.
