The End of Procrastination by Petr Ludwig

He also recommends a habit list, which I also have as a recurring task. I have daily recurring tasks, so I tried manual and use ToDoist instead. These are all pen and paper style reflections which work for some, but I can never do it for my To Do list (organized into today and do later tasks to make it achievable). I love the templates Petr has created to help control procrastination. What are my motivating activities? I think I know them but I’ve never sat down for an hour to focus on these things. I do SWOT analyses for clients all the time, but I’ve never done one for me. Petr doesn’t call it a business plan (rather a personal vision), but it essentially is. Walk a 5km race, then run one, before moving to a 10km. Petr suggests setting the bar low and gradually working your way up.

How many of you set audacious New Year’s resolutions? Run a marathon? Lose 20kgs? Then fail and give up a few weeks later. They’re not identical, but do the same thing to achieve the same goal. It’s reassuring that many of the organization tools I use are also what Petr recommends. I’m sure the words confirmation bias appear nowhere in the 272 pages, but, for me, it featured heavily. Because reading and reviewing so many books gets boring for me. Instead of a general review of this self-help book, I will talk about the tips I gained from reading The End of Procrastination. There are also studies showing that procrastination can be helpful (in some cases). You’ve probably read a bajillion books helping you be more productive. I prefer to read books closer to their release date.

It is the time when people buy more gym clothes (and occasionally a membership) and declare diets fated to last maybe days. I’m sure the release for The End of Procrastination by Petr Ludwig was timed for the New Year.
