The Procrastinator's Mind empathizes with procrastinators and seeks to understand the behavior of procrastination within their reality without judging them. The author gets to the core of the psychology of procrastination and provides practices and solutions that are proven to stop procrastination and inspire the journey toward discipline. The author takes a more personal and familiar approach that affects the reader's whole life and sense of self-respect and does not just preach more productivity at work. The book delves deeply into and analyses topics such as self-esteem, fear, emotion, thought, assertiveness, identity, self-efficacy and the effects of these elements on procrastination. Often when we procrastinate, we have some work that we are running away from, a task that poses a fear in terms of our self-esteem, effort or ability. During this time, we go on a binge to understand and solve our procrastination. This book intends to help one procrastinate less by building awareness of the subconscious and conscious processes within a procrastinator.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DON'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK: The world's leading expert on procrastination uses his groundbreaking research to offer understanding on a matter that bedevils us all. Writing with humour, humanity and solid scientific information reminiscent of Stumbling on Happiness and Freakonomics, Piers Steel explains why we knowingly and willingly put off a course of action despite recognizing we'll be worse off for it. For those who surf the Web instead of finishing overdue assignments, who always say diets start tomorrow, who stay up late watching TV to put off going to sleep, The Procrastination Equation explains why we do what we do—or in this case don't—and why in Western societies we're in the midst of an escalating procrastination epidemic. Dr. Piers Steel takes on the myths and misunderstandings behind procrastination and motivation. With accessible prose and the benefits of new scientific research, he provides insight into why we procrastinate even though the result is that we are less happy, healthy, and even wealthy. Who procrastinates and why? How many ways, big and small, do we procrastinate? How can we stop doing it? The reasons are part cultural, part psychological, part biological. And, with a million new ways to distract ourselves in the digitized world, more of us are potentially damaging ourselves by putting things off. But Steel not only analyzes the factors that weigh us down but the things that motivate us—including understanding the value of procrastination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to reprogram your brain to be more productive and stop procrastinating? You have come to the right place! If you find it hard to stick to your timelines and always find yourself having to work under pressure because of deadlines due to procrastination, you are not alone! It's just a commonly unavoidable activity, which people just allow to take over their lives. Did you know that about twenty percent of the population admits that they procrastinate often? This lack of immediacy has also influenced the fast-paced environment you're now in. Some people procrastinate because they know technology can aid them in finishing certain things quickly. Instead of doing research for several hours in the library, they can just surf the Internet for half an hour. Procrastination won't and can't just be beaten in one day because it's a habit. You have to remember that the longer you don't procrastinate, the greater the probability is for you to break this unhealthy and unhelpful habit permanently. Procrastination can be defeated with the right mindset and with the will to finish something. If you want to learn how to think critically, you have to realize that we are responsible for our attitudes because the power to decide our perspective, our thoughts, and our mood is in our hands. Having an open mind to other interpretations can help us to identify the exact problem and analyzing it to come up with several possible solutions. Brainstorming is the key to achieve that, because helps you to avoid forming quick conclusions and when you come up with several possible solutions, makes it easier for you to find the ultimate one. Just by doing that you're one step forward in developing knowledge in critical thinking or problem-solving, but, as always, it takes time, practice, and perseverance. An individual is able to achieve anything they set their mind to in life if they are focused and determined. The majority of the times people tend to become distracted with negative thoughts that come from within. These negative thoughts are a manifestation of a lack of self-confidence they have in their credibility or their ideas. This is why it is imperative to first believe in yourself, as doing so can cause great feats to be manifested. It is important to note that this determination is not something that comes easily. If you want to achieve notable success in your life, then it is important to train your brain to focus more on your future objective and goal. As the general theme of this section states, without focus, there is no way one can achieve their goals or aspirations successfully. When one is motivated, they are able to remain focused on the path, regardless of any distractions or obstacles that they encounter. In this book we will discuss the following topics: What is Procrastination? Reasons Why We Procrastinate The Why and How of Breaking Big Projects into Smaller Ones Building a Perfect Time Management Plan Tricks to Get Things Done in Less Time Four Goals for Critical Thinking: Self Direction, Self-Discipline, Self-Monitoring, Self-Correction Hyperfocus Building Healthy Work Habits Improving Your Memory and Cognitive Ability And MANY MORE Your biggest reward for all your efforts is a job well done, a satisfied boss or client, and a proud teacher.
