Ratings and reviews

This is a great book for anyone that needs a push to stop procrastinating and start doing. This book tells you why you need to do your toughest tasks right away. Great read loved every page. Very gripping and helpful.

this book is amazing, i recommend everyone to read this book, it helps keep you motivated and stay on track. every time i feel like I'm loosing focus, i go back to this book to help get me back on track. stop the procrastination now and achieve your goals.

This is the first book I read about time management. I wish I had read this book when I was a student, and my life would have been so different. Procrastination has been my headache since I was small. Because of procrastination, I missed train, didn't finish homework on time, was late for appointments, etc.. I know procrastination is bad, but I never know how to overcome it, until I read this book. The most useful knowledge in this book is the detailed steps of beating procrastination. They are very actionable and work well on me. I have been following the author's advice for a week. I saw an increase in my productivity on the first day I took action. To make the best use of this book, I suggest you try out every advice in this book. Simply knowing the ideas will not help. You have to take actions.
