review 1: This is a funny book on procrastination, written by a philosopher who happens to be a procrastinator. Full of quirky anecdotes and real-life examples, this book won't tell you how to solve your procrastinating habit, but it will at least help you admit you may have a problem, and point out a few tricks. These include breaking things down the Kaisen way (many small steps), and making a list of everything you need to do and NOT do (e.g. not browse the internet when you're supposed to be working on something important). It even recommends patting yourself on the back every time you get something crossed off your list, and associating yourself with non-procrastinators to make sure you get the most important things done. Above all, John Perry recommends you don't let your procr... moreastinating habit get in the way of enjoying life and stressing over deadlines you could easily avoid. In the end, happiness is key.
review 2: I loved this little book! It was informative, entertaining and in spots, laugh out loud hilarious. I swear I think this guy is a long, lost relative or he's hiding out in the office next door to mine. It takes one to know one and this guy has me and many of my colleagues pegged for sure. However, he does offer some realistic suggestions in attempting to make better use of "structured procrastination." Of course a philosopher would come up with this idea. I'm going to see if he's written any other books . . . later. less

Kind of cute, also kind of ass-y. Not a bad way to waste some time.

One of the shortest, funniest, and best books on procrastination.
