Procrastination
Procrastination: Why You Do It, what to Do about it Now | Jane B. Burka, Lenora M. Yuen
7 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
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.

This is not Jane, lol. This is my extraordinary friend, Antony Sammeroff. He's an internationally-renowned life coach who's in #NYC from Scotland for a couple weeks conducting seminars. His recent book is "Procrastination Annihilation". Get his book for FREE(!!!) here: https://beyourselfandloveit.com/en/doit . More on him here: https://beyourselfandloveit.com/en . @BookBabe & I had a delightful dinner with him and are heading home now.

BookBabe Such a great fellow! An infinite well of fascinating conversation. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

I should have been cleaning. Instead I decided to get all of the stacks of books off my floor and put them on my shelves. #sloths #narwals #riversong #tbr #graphicnovels #yesthatisacatfoodcontainer #catsoflitsy #ithinkimightneedsometwinklelights

I'm a procrastinator, folks. So when I am told I have to mail my #summersantagoespostal parcel "sometime in May," that registers as mail on May 31st.
I have been shopping (and browsing, I've done lots of browsing) and I've enjoyed it. But it's hard for me to feel anything is ever finished until my time runs out. Which is soon. ⏳
So if you're a Chicago litten, don't worry. Your package will be sent! Just not before May 31st! @BookishMarginalia

DGRachel ?? I drove one of my English professors insane because he has this rule that papers were due on x-day, but he would accept them on y-day for 1/2 letter grade off and on z-day for a full letter grade off, and I never turned my papers in until z-day because that was the drop dead date. He actually yelled at me one day "you'd have an A in my class if you just turned your papers in on time!" ??? 8y
merelybookish @DGRachel I understand! I would have done the same. I had a professor for two classes who didn't enforce a deadline. He recommended that you turn it in on the due date but would accept it until the end of the semester. I turned in 6 papers to him the last week of classes! 8y
Captivatedbybooks I'm on my way to buy my stuff now to mail this week. She's in the USA so i should be good hopefully 8y
merelybookish @Captivatedbybooks I'm also mailing within the US so figure it will receive before the 21st. 8y
batsy As a lifelong procrastinator, I understand this too well. 8y

I have 2 ebooks and an audiobook to finish, but no. Tonight I'm watching #StrangerThings. My Netflix subscription ends in a week.

Procrastination hits again. Checked out this Stitch People book weeks ago. Anniversary is Tuesday. So I guess I'll design tonight, buy supplies tomorrow and whip something together? Should be easy - right? Right? RIGHT?!!!!

BookishMarginalia Why not? 😜 8y
