Reviews for Solving the Procrastination Puzzle

[Jose Chin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It went to the point. I like that it's purpose was for you to take action but at the same time it assumes you will change your mind with what he has exposed. Overall, it was an eye opener to why I might be procastinating and how to get over my specific reason to procastinate.

I first heard Dr. Pychyl on the podcast "Death of 1000 Cuts" and I loved the emotional intelligence approach to procrastination. I definitely recommend this book and its exercises.

Absolutely resourceful, sharp and necessary. This is one of the best reads of 2023 so far personally.

A book by an obscure Canadian academic who's got something good to say. Tauted as a one-hour read, it was actually 2+ and the reader could easily determine that he was trying real hard to withold the details. Nonetheless, it was good advice and the thesis is "Just Do It"...good advice in any event.
