Well Explained

This book gets right to the point of explaining the causes for procrastination, the types of procrastination, and useful tactics to help reduce the time spent procrastinating. The book was an easy listen/read with good examples to address each point. I particularly liked the takeaways at the end of each chapter as these saved having to read the whole chapter again in order to review the main points of interest.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
