About this listen

Break the procrastination habit, accelerate your productivity, and take control of your life now.

Are you living in chaos because you constantly put off critical tasks until the last minute? Do you feel disorganized both at home and at work? Do you experience feelings of anxiety, frustration, and helplessness with all your incomplete projects?

If so, it's time to defeat the procrastination habit and rewire your habits for doing difficult work now.

"Reinvent your approach to doing difficult work and stop delaying to live your life."

Best-selling author and personal development trainer, Scott Allan, wants you to defeat procrastination, eliminate negative self-talk, and overcome lazy tendencies to delay hard work. In this hands-on, practical guide, you'll learn Scott's step-by-step method to destroy bad habits and end self-sabotage so that you can stop guilting yourself for working hard but getting nothing done.

In Do the Hard Things First, you'll discover how to:

  • Control self-defeating distractions and manage shiny object syndrome.
  • Identify key constraints holding you back and take massive action for optimal results.
  • Avoid doing random tasks and time block your critical work.
  • Identify negative coping mechanisms and develop a great work ethic.
  • Implement daily exercises for making better choices and building greater confidence in decision-making.
  • Structure your priorities by single-focusing on what matters most.
  • Train your brain to master attention by interrupting sudden "impulse snaps".
  • Take responsibility for your life and forgive yourself for procrastination behavior.

Do the Hard Things First is structured to save you time, increase mental energy, and teach you to think from a mindset built with confidence by removing fear. You'll learn how to focus on your number-one tasks for the day, eliminate overwhelm, and become the best version of yourself in both your work and in life.

"Today, not tomorrow. Do it now, not later."

It's time for a change. It's time to start winning instead of losing to the battle that has consumed your life - the battle against procrastination. From today, stop being mean to yourself, develop superior discipline and self-control, and do whatever it takes to eliminate the stress and anxiety procrastination creates.

Listen more than once

One of the only audiobooks I listen to again and again. Discipline is a perishable skill and it does not take long for it to perish. Excellent book.

I feel attacked! lol

This os a really great book. It has so many different aspects that I liked that it is too much to type. I will say, this book highlighted a lot of negative and/or unnecessary traits that I possess that aren't really helping me in tge short or long run. I do recommend this book to those like me who had gotten comfortable with putting things off.

Good practical guidelines with some reasoning

This book is focused on the different ways we reason with ourselves to not take action and does a great job of connecting the different ways we excuse ourselves with the why (or how to find out your why) and most importantly how to overcome it. The concepts are not new and are clearly pulled from different sources and are given throughout. A worth while resources to reference from time to time. Loved most if not all the different quotes.

An organized roadmap to get in control

The book sounds like a plan for those who lack the skill of planning their daily activities, work tasks, etc. it’s a practical guide to be in the moment and get into the driver seat of your life NOW.

The narrator’s energy is very genuine, sounds like a writer who’s sharing something he’s passionate about.

I recommend the book to the ones who struggle with too many things on their life desk and constant haunting feeling of overwhelmed out of unfinished things.
