Publisher's summary

Do you ever get the sense you could be doing so much more?

Do you put things off for later and they never get done? Do your thoughts never manifest into action? If you wonder what life would be like if you stopped procrastinating, then you’re in the right place.

Procrastination is a vicious cycle that can be broken. Many are aware but never muster the strength for change. Many wait for the last minute, or until the time has passed. We put things off and tell ourselves we’ll do them right after this nap. Right after we check our phone. Right after we watch the last 10 minutes of that show.

But those things never get done. They go untouched or unresolved. And all of those unresolved things build up in your life like plaque on your teeth.

You can stop procrastinating and gain back that competitive edge in life. To do that, you’ll have to go beyond yourself. Get outside help. Why? Because you’ve already tried to go deep. You’ve already tugged at your will power and attempted to find your motivation. It didn’t work, and that’s why you’re here. So, the answer is that you need another perspective. A guide. A simple, informative audiobook to help you change your life right now.

When you order this audiobook, you’ll discover:

  • How to instantly start a task in less than a minute even if you hate doing it.
  • How to deal with setbacks and bad habits in new ways that propel you forward.
  • The number one method influencers with top productivity use to take back time and get double the work done.
  • How to stop filling time with meaningless tasks and replace them with real progress.
  • A secret to develop a deep inner vision that will keep you laser-focused forever.

Your procrastination isn’t an accident. It’s basic human psychology. Your mind is designed to work against you by conserving energy for survival. If you want to become someone who ever has a chance to beat procrastination, then you need help. In this audiobook that’s what you’ll find, and you’ll get it delivered in bite-size chunks you can easily consume without getting overwhelmed.

If that’s the transformation you need, then it’s time to act now. Scroll up and order the audiobook today!

This author actually cites the studies.

I found that this book had many worthy ideas. I plan to re-read it and actually study it in order to effectively implement what it has to teach. What I liked most was that the knowledge was evidence-based. Too many self-help books are based only on the author's experience and not scientific studies. This author actually cites the studies.

starsA wise and practical book

the book goes through several strategies to improve self-discipline in order to achieve personal or professional goals. All chapters are clear and provide ideas that can be put to practice. It's a great primer on the subject but even if you have read books on the subject before this is a useful resource because it systematizes the fundamental concepts and ideas. Recommended.

I really liked some of the ideas and exercises

I really liked some of the ideas and exercises are given throughout the book. The schedule setting one was very helpful. The section on having low self-confidence and how that can trigger procrastination was intriguing and made me think. Overall, I would recommend this book to any type of procrastinator. Don't put it off. It is concise and to the point of short listen.

Recommended!


If implemented, the ideas in this book will change your life. It isn’t magic, however, and it won’t happen overnight. I prefer this book for all who have an interest here. All the secrets come directly from the street of experience, either mine or those I learned through my research. Only world-class people get the most value out of mental-toughness suggestions because they are always trying to gain an edge and get better. This book espouses wisdom on everything you need to know most about mental toughness. Recommended!

Simple and Effective read

This book is a basic, easy to follow read that applies common sense to a subject many choose to avoid. In its simple approach, I found myself surprised by the exercises which led me to some value-added conclusions concerning procrastination elements in my own personal behavior. A good read to launch a person's efforts towards self-improvement.
