"This book is a treasure trove of practical methods to break procrastinating habits. Dr. Basco will inspire you and cheer you on as you learn how to become a 'doer.' I wish this book had been available sooner. It would have saved me many hours and days of spinning my wheels." - Jesse H. Wright, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences; Director, Depression Center; and Vice Chair for Academic Affairs, University of Louisville, USA
"Turns out it does take one to know one! As a procrastinator of many years, I found observations and examples I could relate to in every chapter. Dr. Basco will help you understand why you keep procrastinating, even though it does more harm than good — and how to beat it once and for all." - Eric A., lawyer
"Do you hold off to the last minute on those less-than-pleasant tasks? Are you typically off by 50% on your 'that-won’t-take-long-I’ve-got-time' estimates? Think you are a capital-P Procrastinator for life? With this guide, you’ll get the quick-and-easy shortcuts around all your excuses. You’ll gain the tools to find your personal stall tactics and the repair kit to fix them. When you’re done, get ready for your reward: efficient productivity and more time for fun." - Reid Wilson, author of Don't Panic
"I thought I had my self-defeating procrastination habits under control, but when I saw myself in so many of this book's scenarios, I realized I still have work to do. Fortunately, Dr. Basco provides simple steps to move from overwhelmed to active; from stalling to success. I gained new insights, great reminders, and thoughtful encouragement/m-/all of which have helped me to shift the way I approach tasks and safeguard against falling into the same old traps." - Susan L. Franzen, Director, Leadership Institute, University of Texas System, USA
"Essential reading for anyone who has felt blocked in making decisions and getting done what needs to be done. Filled with examples of people who have overcome procrastination, practical and powerful advice, and helpful forms, this book can help you change your life. Read it and recommend it - what are you waiting for?" - Robert L. Leahy, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York Presbyterian Hospital, USA "As a lifelong procrastinator, I found this book an amusing, encouraging and informative read... It is packed with practical exercises and advice for achieving behavioural change, mixed in with case studies and success stories to illustrate and motivate... Thanks to this excellent self help book, I do now believe the last line of the Procrastinators Pledge: 'I can learn to do things differently." I even know how." - Anji Taylor, CBT Today, June 2010
