Book excerpt: You've tried managing your time. You've tried prioritizing your time. Now discover how to multiply it. Do you feel like you're busier than ever - yet never caught up? You're not alone. Many of us are tired, frustrated, and stressed from being overworked at the office and at home, with no concrete plan for getting it all under control without compromising our well-being. In Procrastinate on Purpose, self-discipline strategist Rory Vaden presents a different approach for how to identify and focus on what's important. Instead of one more calendar, checklist, or gadget, he points out that what we really need is an understanding of the emotional reasons we fail to maximize our time - and he then reveals the five 'permissions' we can grant ourselves in order to get better results while creating more margin in our daily lives. In this paradigm-shifting book, you will discover how to- Identify your most significant priorities, in business and in life Create more time to do the things you love without sacrificing results Say no to the things that don't matter, and yes to the things that do Implement systems that give you more time tomorrow than you have today Gain control and inner peace by adopting the 'multiplier mindset' Informed by Southwestern Consulting's work with thousands of busy clients, and interspersed with Vaden's case studies that reveal the 'multiplier mindset' at work, this insightful, practical book will turn everything you thought you knew about time upside-down-and it will change the way you work and live. From the New York Timesbestselling author of Take the Stairs- A bold new way to get things done. 'Managing your time is a lot like managing your money. It's not about the numbers; it's about your behavior. The best time-management tricks in the world won't do you much good if they don't actually make your life better. In Procrastinate on Purpose, Rory builds on what we've all heard about time management and adds the two things that have always been missing- emotion and significance.'

Download or read book The Procrastination Equation written by Piers Steel and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 322 pages. 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.
Download or read book Bedtime Procrastination Cure written by Dylan Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantly tired? Depressed? Puffy eyes? Making mistakes & missing deadlines at work?Science agrees that going to bed and waking up at the same time every day is one of the best things you can do for your sleep and health in general. But modern living features some of the most compelling temptations in the form of digital entertainment. If it's not Social Media that's keeping you up at night with endless streams of Snapchat stories, it's a binge watching marathon of a Netflix series that has you hooked and unable to go to bed. If waking up early and feeling fresh sounds like a dream to you, then continue reading. You cannot be an early riser and a bedtime procrastinator at the same time.Insomnia and bedtime procrastination are not the same thing but are closely interrelated. There aren't enough practical solutions. The most common approach to fixing sleep problems is to promote medication use among sufferers. But sleep medication can only address part of the problem and has the potential to create substance abuse tendencies. Most of you know that sleep is essential to your health and well being and yet its the first daily activity to be shortened if work or entertainment captures your attention close to designated bedtime. Until medical science comes up with a way to eliminate our need to sleep completely (which is unlikely to happen in our lifetime), humans will have to come up with ways to allow for sufficient quality sleep in balance with the rest of their day. Humans are largely designed for around 16 hours of awake time. The quality and regularity of your sleep will ultimately determine the quality of those 16 hours awake. Everything from hormonal levels like Testosterone & Estrogen production to Brain fog & Neurogenesis will be determined by the quality of your sleep.You might have everything in place to conquer life and beat the challenges that you face everyday - a solid plan, smart goals and drive to succeed but if you're not getting enough rest, the best plans are bound to fail. This book is for those adults who deal with daytime sleepiness on a daily basis. Sleep requirements vary among humans but if you are a chronic bedtime procrastinator, you will most likely not be getting a sufficient amount of sleep.A persistent tendency to postpone bedtimes with a consistently shifting sleep cycle commonly leads to crippling insomnia, preventing sufferers from leading a satisfying life. A common pattern seen in people with regular jobs involves partying late into the night on Friday nights through the weekend with a sudden shift in bed times as the following Monday approaches. The equivalent 'jet lag' like effect wreaks havoc on an individual's mind, body, hormones and well being. Bedtime procrastination Cure is the first attempt at providing concrete techniques to resolve a life long sleeping problem.Bedtime Procrastination Cure attempts to suggest completely new and unique approaches to fixing an errant sleep pattern. This book features: Beating binge watching addictions & temptations to keep you from sleep Techniques to 'nudge' your sleep cycle back into shape Optimized weekend sleep patterns & light therapy Mental hacks to improve sleep quality & consistency Using everyday technology to optimize sleep patterns Dylan has worked hard to come up with 9 techniques that come together as a system to conquer that sleep issue once and for all. His book features practical insights, solid techniques and simple hacks to address sleep issues that have never been published before in the mainstream. If sleep procrastination is the one thing holding you back from achieving your dreams, it's time for a bedtime procrastination cure.

Download or read book THE PROCRASTINATION CURE 2022 written by Sweetmoon and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone procrastinates. It's a universal temptation. Even productivity and time management experts, who are supposed to know better, regularly postpone taking action on things that require their attention. We're constantly enticed to put things off to pursue more appealing options. For example, we persuade ourselves to forgo our daily visit to the gym, choosing instead to remain on the couch binge-watching our favorite Netflix shows. We ignore our lawns, which desperately need to be mowed, in favor of going to the theater to catch the latest blockbuster film. We choose to go out with our friends rather than study for an upcoming exam. The question is, how can we lessen this tendency? Ultimately, how can we reduce its impact on our lives? We can't eliminate it since our inclination to procrastinate is part of our nature. We tend to pursue what is easiest and most likely to deliver immediate gratification, even if doing so is inconsistent with our long-term goals. The Procrastination Cure will give you the tools you need to overcome this inclination.
