Great advice!

The Procrastination Cure really nails it! How does Damon know that I sneak off to Facebook or Words with Friends to avoid doing what I need to do? His concrete 21 steps are a big help.

Ment to do this yesterday

The 21 tactics are not new - What is new are the ways he shares how he implemented them. In our book club we spend 9 days reviewing this and it was powerful to have the level if dialogue about how we are each hindered by our own procrastination. Thanks for the book, thanks for the audio and thanks for the simple solutions. It's working!
