I wouldn't say that this book is the holy book for procrastinator, but I'm gonna say that this book helps me a lot. The tips & tricks weren't so cool, but that's what I like. I don't really like those self-help books that are full of tips and tricks because somehow, they didn't actually solved the root of the problems. But, this book somehow solved my problem. Now I wouldn't want myself to be perfect anymore. I prefer to do things now rather than perfectly. Of course, this is not perfected either. I'm still procrastinating but to the lesser amount than before. Surprisingly, much lesser!

The writer is actually a psychologist, and experienced in the field of cognitive therapy including procrastination therapy so that wouldn't make this book a pseudoscience just like other majority of self-help books. So, this book is trustworthy enough. Besides, this book can helps you if you don't want to go to psychologist for the therapy session.

I've finally finished this book. I may have procrastinated a little. I read this in order to help myself and the students I assist with their academic struggles. Psychologist Monica Basco addresses the different types of procrastinators and offers advice for managing the types of behavior. She does have a quiz/self-assessment that helps the reader to determine the type or types of procrastination he or she may be suffering from and each chapter has helpful sections called "Changing Directions" to help the procrastinator to turn the habit around and tame it.

While this is the first book I've read on this subject, I'm sure it won't be the last. It was helpful, an easy read, and something offers information that can be adapted to almost any situation.

Useful input. Read a more succinct/digestable blog regarding procrastination. Turns out that reading this book was only a way for me to further procrastinate. Blah.

This book has a lot of useful insights for helping readers understand why they procrastinate. Tips and tricks are tailored to specific reasons for procrastinating, which I found helpful. The author does a very good job of reality-checking readers and providing additional perspectives about how procrastination can actually serve us. My one criticism is that I wasn鈥檛 a fan of the author using the characters of the Procrastination Support Group to deliver the concepts/information she is trying to convey. It felt a bit contrived and clich茅 to me.

This is a simple little book on identifying which type of procrastinator you are, identify the reasons why you procrastinate and how to change your behavior and avoid procrastination. The identification process is well explained but I think this book doesn't cover strategic solutions in enough detail. Brian Tracy's "No Excuses!" book offers a lot more hands-on, practical solutions to procrastination, in my opinion.

Honestly, without the Libby app I would not have read this book. I was always on my phone, so having the eBook on me allowed me to finish the book. Seriously, try the eBook version before the hard copy.

I knew I had a problem with procrastination, yet this book really illustrates how interfering procrastination could be and how it's more than just not getting that one thing done. Basco gives examples on how procrastination starts and the emotional reasons behind it. Very insightful. The way she exemplifies different situations with the characters makes the book engaging. It helped me analyze my thinking patterns and emotional barriers I had that led me and kept me in the procrastination loop. She gives useful ways to improve productivity and how to organize your thoughts and plans.

It's just refreshing to read a book on behavioral patterns by an actual psychologist. Not trying to bash non-psychologists who wrote books on procrastination, but it just gave the book more credibility. Also, the format of the book is very easy to read and straightforward, yet it doesn't have a 'textbook' feel. I was actually excited to keep reading it.

I've always been a disorganized and hesitant person, and very starry-eyed person. I'd have many ideas but I never acted on them. After reading this book, I have a genuine reassurance of myself and I'm excited to start school again. :^)

Tl;dr ---> Get the eBook version. Easy book to read. I feel confident about myself and my intentions now.

So far, this book has been great motivation for me to procrastinate less. I enjoyed the stories of the procrastinators' support group and the author's own experiences. They made the technical information in the book easier to understand and relate to my own life. The book began with an assessment, which was useful in identifying how bad my difficulties with procrastination are. It is divided into chapters explaining different causes for procrastination and how to work to improve. The layout was nice. The author encourages the reader not to become stressed. I really liked the book. The book is designed so that you can continue to use it to help you procrastinate less after reading it.

Okay, you'd think a book on how to stop procrastinating should just say, "close this book and go clean your house/finish your report/register for French lessons/whatever you are putting off." But this one was useful in figuring out why people procrastinate (apparently we are not all the same; some are disorganized; others are pleasure-seekers, etc.) She doesn't deny that change will be difficult and she stresses that we procrastinate because we can, because we get away with it - and that encourages me to stop letting other procrastinators get away with it. Some anecdotes, some tips, some theory.

The funny thing is I actually procrastinated starting to read this book! I'm glad I finally got round to it! It's helped me discover why I procrastinate in the first place and like we know, identifying the nature of a problem is key to solving it. Basco, who happens to be a procrastinator herself (!), groups us into 5 categories dependent on why we do so, helps us discover ourselves, then sheds the light to fight this time vampire.
The Procrastinator's Guide to Getting Things Done is a must read!

A useful self-help book for procrastinators. Written in an easy-to-read style, it covers the why, who and what of procrastination. The advice is practical and informative, but topical. Could benefit from a more in-depth analysis of why we procrastinate and ways to overcome it. I did get a lot out of Chapter 4, "Are You Disorganized" which does deal with precise ways to get yourself on track.

I had Dr. Basco as a professor in school. While I'm not a big fan of self help books it was still interesting given that I was being instructed by the author of the book. It was an OK book.

Lots of great ideas. I did all the exercises and made some progress toward my procrastination issue. Try it and pay special attention to the Procrastinators Club vignettes.

One of the biggest weakness I have when it comes to doing something, is not realizing that I myself stuck upon the procrastination trap. This book has provided all reasons why people procrastinate, explain it one by one, and then giving the solutions written on a chapter. This book is well written, each chapter from introduction to explaining each reason of procrastination are easy to understand, and I found myself to relate the problems stated in the book with the things I deal in my life.

I feel much better after reading the book, not only it gives me a solution that could be handy for me to work to, but it motivates me to get less procrastinated and even removing it all from myself (although impossible, who knows? Maybe I will reach it at one point). I highly recommend this book to everyone who struggles on procrastinating.

The author Monica Ramirez is specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy and is a clinical psychologist but unfortunately that is not well reflected in her book content and style. I have to say that I expected a deeper explanation of different aspects of the main theme concept. Most of the ideas are repeated in different words explaining and analyzing almost the same behavior under a different subheading.

I would say that the book is not rich enough to be of more than 30 pages, no more.

I've always been like "yeah I am a procrastinator" but after reading this book I was like "Oh God I am a procrastinator". So it helps you to look into yourself and search for the situations that you decide to procrastinate and maybe try to fix them gradually.

Seriously... i found this really waste of time to read through all the examples which i cannot relate to, while there's no solid practical ways to improve the positive habits.

Basco seems to be as lost and clueless as the regular veteran procastinator when it comes to what happens. So Basco comes up with stock suggestions.

Not world changing, a lot of the advice can be a little predictable. That said, it helped me articulate my own procrastination habits, so worth the quick read.
