«”You are lazy and need someone to force you to work.”

With this belief, you work against yourself, and resentment and fear of failure drain you of the energy needed to achieve your goals effectively and efficiently. To unlearn this pattern you’ll need to reduce the amount of pain and threat associated with your work»

«Procrastination has been learned, and it can be unlearned. Until now it’s been a rewarding and necessary tool for escaping tasks that seem painful and depriving. Therefore, to gain control over procrastination, you need to develop alternative tools for coping with your fears, to make work less painful and less depriving.»

The key to ultimate success and happiness, after reading the book, is the following: You should fight procrastination furiously. Every minute spared doing insignificant tasks is keeping you away from your main goal in life. However, criticizing or working yourself to the bone are both not long-term solutions. The best course of action is to find the real reason you’re stalling a project, your main fear, and try to slowly overcome it over time.

The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play by Neil Fiore (this is the full title) explains in great details the word procrastination. Along with that, the methods and exercises provided inside for battling procrastination seem perfectly valid and easily doable.

It’s a must-read for perfectionists, chronic procrastinators, and life long postponers. See my full summary, https://durmonski.com/book-summaries/...
