Resumen del Editor

Here's the first comprehensive strategic system for overcoming the causes and eliminating the effects of procrastination.

Here are techniques to help any busy person get more things done more quickly, without the anxiety and stress brought on by delay and pressing deadlines.

If you are a professional, manager, student, entrepreneur, writer, or homemaker, this audiobook will help you achieve your goals more rapidly, whether they are large, complex challenges or the small, essential tasks of everyday life and work. If you now work effectively, even though you have too much to do and too little time, The Now Habit will show you how to prioritize your goals to allow more time for guilt-free play.

Step by step, Neil Fiore, Ph.D. reveals numerous tested strategies for ridding your life of procrastination:

  • Use the symptoms of procrastination to trigger the cure
  • Overcome the perfectionism and fear of failure that lie behind procrastination
  • Benefit from making positive statements about work instead of sabotaging yourself with negative statements
  • Make your worry work for you
  • Use the "Unschedule" time-management techniques
  • Accomplish more in less time through efficient "flow state" work styles
  • Assist the procrastinators in your life in overcoming their problems

The Now Habit promises you the chance to truly enjoy guilt-free recreational time, knowing the work is really behind you.

Excellent info, but uncomfortable flow

What did you like best about The Now Habit? What did you like least?

I gained insight into the reasons I procrastinate and how to retrain my brain with simple fixes.

Would you be willing to try another one of Neil Fiore’s performances?

No. I did not connect with Neil Fiore as a reader. There were awkward breaks in the sentence structure. It never felt like it flowed well. Sort of like being a passenger with a teen driver who constantly taps the brakes. Please don't misunderstand, I did really think the content was quite good.

Do you think The Now Habit needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, there was some definite repetition in this book. I don't need to hear anymore.

Any additional comments?

I think the unschedule is an interesting concept. This would have worked very well for me as a real estate agent, but in my current administration role, it's not quite as applicable. If you are self-employed or an independent contractor, I would highly recommend this book.

Super crazy slow. Good points here and there.

2x speed felt like normal speed and normal speed seemed like a joke.

Author spends time mentioning the method of other self-help books being inadequate and how this book is different. It's largely the same as other books as far as content.

There are a few gems spread throughout the book that are worth hearing. Particularly some thought exercises.

There's also a guided meditation portion that I thought was both kind of cool and also kind of ridiculous. Meditation's cool. Guided relaxation's not for me, but could be good for others. So worth mentioning there's some in here.

The best book there is on Procrastination

Literally changed my life. I’m a better person than I was a week ago before I finished this book.

Useful, Robotic

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Neil Fiore?

I found the narration sort of robotic and off-putting.

Was The Now Habit worth the listening time?

There was some useful information within this book that I hadn't heard before around procrastination.

I have heard evolutionary explanations (ie You're basically at war with impulsivity coming from mammal brain - the immediacy and intensity of which is stronger than longterm goals because they are deeper and older in the brain's structure).

What I hadn't heard was an Emotional-Motivational framework explaining what causes procrastination... I found this intensely useful. Basically the one take-away I have after listening.

**Basically start by telling yourself you'll be okay even if you fail, work out what it looks like if you fail, work out how you will cope and how you'll still be fine. Starting from that POV versus what we normally do (make it life or death and immediately trigger our fight-flight-freeze) will stop you from creating the paradigm that keeps you stuck in paralysis.**

Any additional comments?

There was a lot of repetitious name-dropping of 'the system' that Neil Fiore created. Lots of recycling of information too.

Super Helpful

As a procrastinator, I found this book extremely helpful. I was able to put the ideas such as “when can I start”, “do it in crayon”, and “the reverse calendar” into practice quickly and have seen positive results. They also help me when I find myself feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start.

Good content, hard to listen to narration

The narration by the author is the worst part. I wish he would have hired a professional to do that part. The content is brilliant, but on audiobook with his monotone voice and hearing his breathing, it's pretty hard to listen to for more than 20 minutes at a time.

Eye opening experience.

I was going to write something special, but I never got around to it... Just kidding, this book is exactly what I needed to get my Sh#t together. Thank you.

Good insights into common behavior

I was familiar with a lot of the concepts presented from other sources. Some of those concepts are better conveyed by other means, but the specifics of procrastination causes were new to me and very insightful. Worth the read for that alone.
