Title: The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play by Neil A. Fiore ISBN: 0-87477-504-3 Publisher: J. P. Tarcher Pub. Date: January, 1989 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $13.95 |

Summary: Response to "Old news" review
Comment: This book does not deal with procrastination in a "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine" attitude. It explains what procrastination is, why we do it, and provides many "tools" to defeat it. If you misunderstand "Guilt-free play" and "the Unschedule", these tools won't help you. Read this carefully with a highlighter and, no matter how badly you procrastinate, you'll amaze yourself!

Summary: Excellent Resource!
Comment: I disagree with the previous reviewer. I found this book extremely helpful. Some of the concepts in Burka and Yuen's book had likely been previously published as well. That's not uncommon in popular, self-help books. Note: we are not reviewers evaluating original research for publication in a scientific journal. We want advice. If he obtained information from other authors, fine. I wanted help in overcoming procrastination and this is the best book that I have found. I agree that Burka and Yuen's book is also an excellent resource and while it is better at explaining why I procrastinate, Fiore's book was more useful in helping me overcome procrastination. Why does the book have so many positive reviews? It works.

Summary: Pragmatic and very useful.
Comment: I consider myself a chronic procrastinator, I frequently find myself almost literally paralysed by procrastination and over the years it has cost me a lot in all areas of my life. If you are anything like me you have probably berated yourselves over your procrastination and are exhausted from the weight of unfinished tasks you mentally carry.
I have to say I really enjoyed this book. First it made me understand why I procrastinate, what the psychological drivers are behind it. The techniques are brilliant in their simplicity, so simple you'll wonder why you didn't work it out before. I have got through more work this week than the last month using them. But more importantly I've really enjoyed the time I have had off for the first time in years.
I also have adult ADD and find that procrastination is often the symptom of the larger issues of ADD. For those that are dealing with this debilitating behaviour on a day to day basis I urge you to buy it. A habit like procrastination is not developed overnight and I doubt that it will go away overnight either. The techniques you'll find in the book will immediately get your working on the right path and I for one have really felt for the first time that I can beat this wretched behaviour and really start enjoying life.
