Have been struggling with procrastination in your life lately, making it seem as if you're lazy? Then you obviously need to make a positive change. This book comes with a surefire plan to slay the procrastination dragon, which includes 7 secret shortcuts to stop being lazy and wake up energetic and productive EVERYDAY!

February has arrived. Resolutions for the new year have dissolved and disappeared.
Still, life fails to pause or give us our time back. We must keep moving forward, juggling competently, and keeping all of the balls in the air.
It is 2015. We all pack far more into a schedule these days than we ever did before. Expectations are higher, and there is no going back to the way it used to be. Access to, and popularity of, smart phones, tablets, and other technological tools implies that we can do it all. But, can we?
"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone."
~Pablo Picasso
We need a strategy. Procrastination is a habit we can no longer afford to tolerate. This book was precisely designed to outline secrets that help slay the procrastination dragon once and for all.
Why? Productivity and procrastination do not play well together. They cannot co-exist.
Time Management may sound like some elusive means of wrangling organization from the otherwise current comfort zone that we modeled after a version of the Einstein desk. In truth, it is simply an apt label for: (1) understanding what needs to be done, (2) seeing the prioritized tasks through to completion, and (3) enjoying the sense of accomplishment that follows.
"Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work."
~ Stephen King
The Psychology of Procrastination
While it is believed that at least 20% of the population is inclined to perpetually or chronically procrastinate, another factor that influences a propensity toward procrastination is distraction. Common distractions these days include Facebook and other social media, playing App games, and watching YouTube videos.
After all, each of these can easily occur, even in the workplace, due to the universal adoption of smart phone use. Furthermore, since each is designed to engage for momentary interim purposes, just a few minutes at a time, this interruption is enough to disrupt and sideline otherwise productive activities.
The flow of work productivity is lost, and it takes longer to get back in that zone. That momentary distraction then becomes a compound loss.
"Procrastination is the thief of time."
~ Edward Young
In fact, Psychology Today concludes that procrastinators actually self-sabotage. Typically, we define procrastination as avoiding responsibilities, or habitually putting things off. The suggestion made by this thought leader, however, is that procrastination is a conscious choice not to succeed.
"Procrastination is the fear of success."
~ Denis Waitley
When we pause to consider "what is procrastination", this example from the procrastination quotes represents avoidance procrastination: the first of three types of action-deferral behaviors. Avoidance procrastinators are the saboteurs. They are those who would rather leave others believing that they simply ran out of time, as opposed to embracing the notion that they were incapable of the task to begin with.
Ironically, their high standards for themselves, coupled with the high value they place on the opinion of the way they are perceived by others, leads them down a path that impedes their very progress. They fear failure, so they fail in a way that is perceived to be less about their own realm of control than about their skill. In fact, by simply perceiving this scenario from a different vantage point, they would see that it was all truly within their control in the first place.
"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill."
~ Christopher Parker
