I know I have a problem with getting things done (procrastination) but I have almost none of the underlying problems that he says cause procrastination.

I like that he breaks down a lot of the thought processes behind procrastination. I don't think I have huge issues with procrastination, but there are some areas where I tend to procrastinate, and it helped me see them better. But, I think some of his practical ideas were helpful too. Just got my MacBook Pro back yesterday with all of my notes on it, so I'm going to blog about a few of those ideas soon. Justin,

I found it hard to listen to - a bit to shrink-ish in the narration, and a bit too shrink-ish in the content. Overall, I came away with the conclusion that the book wasn't for me if I didn't have major psychological issues with procrastination. Did you feel that way about it? <abbr><em><abbr><em>Justins last blog post..<a href="http://www.radicalcongruency.com/20081109-how-to-deal-with-it" rel="nofollow">How To Deal With It</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I too have both the audiobook and the paperback of The Now Habit, though I’ve only listened to the audiobook.
