Stop Stopping Yourself

 Stop Stopping Yourself: How to Stop Procrastination, Get More Done and Achieve Goals That Could Change Your Life, Mario Benci, Independently Published, 2021

Are you constantly missing deadlines and failing to get things done? So did Steve Jobs and Nelson Mandela. This book explores how to stop procrastinating; everyone has been there at one time or another.

The author looks at the many causes of procrastination. Among them are: fear of failure, lack of focus, perfectionism, laziness, self-image and unclear goals. For instance, a vague goal like "I want to get healthy" will not do any good at all. How will you know if you have achieved it? Change it to something more specific, like "I want to lose at least 10 pounds before summer beach season." Procrastination is not biological or genetic; you were not "born that way." It's a mindset that can be changed, if you have the motivation to do it.

This short book is full of information. It is recommended for everyone; we all have experienced procrastination at some point in our lives. Here is a first-rate piece of writing.
