Hmm… I never thought about the why until I read Andrew Thomson's book, Think Outside The Box: Outsmart Your Laziness, Think Intelligently, Generate Ideas On-Demand, Make Smarter Choices And Be A Productivity Machine.
My initial goal is to find a book about problem-solving, never would I have thought I'd read about procrastination.
There's no mention in the book's title about the subject matter either, it's misleading.
Nevertheless, it made me aware of the common triggers why we procrastinate and the techniques on how to beat that unwanted thing that hinders us to move forward!
It's a life-changing read after all!
3 Gleanings from the Book
Here are 3 of my favorite gleanings from Think Outside the Box.- If you need to do something, don’t view it as negative.
- By breaking your goals into smaller, more manageable tasks you will begin to find that you start achieving these more easily than you expected.
- Don’t listen to advice or allow yourself to be influenced by non-inspirational, negative people. Don’t let them influence you into changing your mindset and ruining your chances of success.
