The "unschedule" is the best day planner ever Please stop beating yourself up long enough to read this book. I have gotten more done on languishing projects in less time and had much more fun in my life since applying the "Unschedule" instead of my former process that began with an impossible to-do list followed by a day of procrastination and an evening of regret and guilt (sound like fun?). This is a new way of thinking about planning your time that not only works but makes you enjoy your time more. If you have any guilt over things you haven't done (calling all writers!) read this book and take a sigh of relief.
A life changing experience! This book is the single most effective book I have found to deal with the problem of procrastination. It approaches the problem from a new perspective that really hits home for a life-long procrastinator. Thank you, Dr. Fiore, for the real help instead of just another book telling you to do it now!
This book rocks This book rocks. It delves into the real reasons behind why we procrastinate. For example, it gives me insight into why I am writing this review instead of preparing for a very important meeting that I have tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help you and I get closer to achieving our goals.
Start with disk 6 I really like this book and even as I am just beginning to implement Dr. Fiore's tips I can see a change. I must say that the first couple of disks are hard to listen to, I would start with disk 5 or 6, continue on to 7 and then start back with disk 1 and continue through. Having context for where the book is headed makes the early disks much more helpful. I recommend this book highly, non the less.
Provides a great way of thinking to help This book has helped in changing my way of thinking from procrastinator to "producer." I am only half way through the book at this point but it is very good so far. I highly recommend this to anyone who catches themselves saying "I should" do this or "I have" to do that. This book focuses a lot on positive self talk and gives you the tools and language you need to change your bad habits.
