      Summary of The Now Habit (Neil Fiore)

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Despite the fact procrastination is a known drain on personal and organizational productivity, very few people ever take the time to define precisely what procrastination is.

      A good working definition of procrastination is: Procrastination is a mechanism which people use to cope with the anxiety or stress involved in starting new tasks or completing old ones.

      When you adopt this definition, it then becomes clear the key to overcoming procrastination isn’t the usual collection of clichés:

      Just get out and do more.

      Try harder.

      Get better organized.

      Stop being lazy.

      Instead, to genuinely overcome procrastination you’ve got to deal with your more deeply seated inner dialogues and your own personal definitions of failure, perfectionism and work ethic. Instead of a collection of how-to advice and tactics, you need to have a strategic system in place which will give you the tools needed so you can mentally shift gears into a higher level of functioning. Once you take more control over the way you think about your work and motivate yourself, you will then naturally become more efficient and productive.

      "The procrastination habit catches people in a vicious cycle: get overwhelmed, feel pressured, fear failure, try harder, work longer, feel resentful, lose motivation, and then procrastinate. The cycle starts with the pressure of being overwhelmed and ends with an attempt to escape through procrastination. As long as you’re caught in the cycle, there is no escape. Instead, you can cultivate the Now Habit: the ability to put aside the fear of failure, the terror of feeling overwhelmed, and low self-esteem, and focus your mind on what you can start now. The skills and strategies of
