Publisher's Summary
Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, secretaries and executives, homemakers and salespeople. Procrastination identifies the reasons we put off tasks - fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment - and their roots in our childhood and adult experiences.
The authors offer a practical, tested program to overcome procrastination by achieving set goals, managing time, enlisting support, and handling stress. Burka and Yuen even provide tips on living and working with the procrastinators you may know.
Wise, effective, and easy to use, this new edition shows why for 25 years Procrastination has been an immediate must-have for anyone who puts things off until tomorrow.

"I'm Exhausted!"
Actually, I rather enjoyed this book- it's always a good sign when I realise I am quietly giggling to myself when listening. It is read very well by the narrator who has an engaging voice. In summary, I think that the greatest strengths of this book are also its greatest weaknesses. Ironically for a book on procrastination, this is a fairly long book- and yet it manages for the most part not to procrastinate. What it does do is to suggest that just about every single challenging issue in life is a basically procrastination and that this all is ultimately linked to our parents and childhood. The book adopts a Freudian psycho-analytical approach, often at the expense of other psychological interventions. This is fine, albeit that the book does go on and on. There were many times I felt like shouting 'why can't you just let things in the past be that you cannot change, accept them and move on from a position of empowerment?'
