CRASH COURSE ON GETTING THINGS DONE NOW 17 Proven Principles for Overcoming Procrastination

Jon Gauger reads this time-management primer like the Energizer Bunny--throwing himself into every sentence with high excitement. It's clearly a performance, but a good one that reveals admiration for the author's ideas and keeps the connection between listener and material strong. Concise writing describes the major reasons we don't get things done--the excuses, rationalizations, and strategies procrastinators use to avoid completing important tasks and projects. With appropriate illustrations, the list of maladaptive patterns will be both familiar and arresting. The principles for breaking through these patterns are so clear and practical that intellectualizers will have nowhere to hide. A useful reminder of the amount of avoidance going on in our lives and what to do about it. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2008]
