The Procrastination Workbook: Your Personalized Program for Breaking Free from the Patterns That Hold You Back

I participated in a study group of this book. I met the other study group members through Clutterers Anonymous. This book is very thought provoking. There are descriptions of research about procrastination as well as examples. I liked the clear writing with definitions and examples of concepts. This is not a simple flip-through the book and skim-read; the material does require serious concentration. The font is large which makes easy to read. The layout is nicely divided with subject headings and clear connections from chapter to chapter. Responding to the questions at the end of each chapter helped me to be clear on understanding each chapter before progressing to the next chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who is brave enough to self-assess for why procrastination is such a part of their life's journey pattern.

In page after page I find myself gasping as William Knaus explains the different ways I have developed to procrastinate my life away. Knaus describes procrastination as a complex mixture of discomfort, self-doubts, perfectionism, fear of failure, anxiety, rebellion and depression developed over a lifetime. He explains how heaping blame on yourself only drives you to procrastinate more and he has created thought questions to help you develop the skills you need to pause, resist, reflect and respond.A life changing weapon against the graveyard of missed opportunities, I highly recommend it!
