The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play Review

It's Sunday night and in less than twelve hours you have a huge presentation due at work. After checking your email, social apps, and then email again your eye flits to the clock. "How did it get to be 1:30 already? I'll never finish!" you think as your fingers type frantically at the keyboard. Procrastination is an easy habit to build, but a very hard one to break. In his book, The Now Habit, Dr. Neil Fiore sets out to give us the tools we need to break the procrastination habit.

The Now Habit originally came out in 1988 and has been a personal development mainstay ever since. Dr. Fiore presents strategies to help you avoid procrastinating, starting with an easy exercise: observe yourself for a week and keep a log on what you avoid doing and why. This is the starting point to figuring out why you procrastinate. Dr. Fiore has a different take on procrastination than most personal motivation authors. He believes the key to changing this habit is in how we talk to ourselves, focusing on changing "I must" statements into "When can I?" or `I choose to." This book also focuses on overcoming fears that lead to procrastination - be they fear of failure or fear of being overwhelmed. Dr. Fiore presents strategies to deal with these fears that are easy to implement and make you feel confident.

In its 2007 revised edition, there are added sections on overcoming technology related procrastination. These are really useful if you find yourself tempted back to Facebook or just one more game of solitaire while you work. Many of us can self-motivate using will power, but it doesn't always last. If you find sheer force of will isn't always enough to get you moving or just want to try a different tack for dealing with procrastination, The Now Habit is a good book to check out.
