This book is packed with simple easy to follow instructions on how to overcome lifelong habits of procrastination. It is written beautifully and each suggestion is concise and clear. If you want to become much, much more productive and happier in your life then you simply must read this book. My life's journey has become every so much more pleasant and enjoyable thanks to this beautiful book.

This is a good book. Look at all the reviews and you will see that it is so. However, after reading it, I found that I wasn't a procrastinator, even though I felt like one. Rather, I've been acting like a procrastinator because I have been overwhelmed and things get put off because of 1) feeling overwhelmed and "I can't get to that now" and 2) not knowing what the next step is to move a given project along. After reading The NOW Habit, I went on to read David Allen's "Getting Things Done." Allen's book is fantastic and corrected both my problems mentioned above. Now I no longer behave like a procrastinator.

My suggestion is that you read Allen's Getting Things Done first. If, after getting organized, feeling less overwhelmed, and having a clear focus on what needs to happen next on any give project you STILL are procrastinating, then by The NOW Habit. The NOW Habit gives a few great ideas per chapter while Getting Things Done provides a few great ideas per page! They address slightly different topics (The NOW Habit addresses self-discipline/procrastination and Getting Things Done addresses organization/work habits), so you may want to decide which addresses your concern most directly (or buy both!).
