About this listen

Put more razzamatazz in your life with some sizzling ideas on how to handle time to your benefit and personal satisfaction.

The author interviewed clinical psychologists, governmental leaders, and successful business people to arrive at ways and means of making the clock work more favorably for you.

The slogan of the National Procrastinator's Club is, "Don't wait. Procrastinate Now." Wise observations from da Vinci, Churchill, Einstein, Ovid, Sandburg, and others agree putting off in positive fashion can boost your success and happiness.

Since the 1700s we've been plagued by Lord Chesterfield's admonition, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." This text thumbs its nose at that with methods of managing time without letting it manage you.

The case for looking before you leap!

John Rayburn flies in the face of many self-help authors by arguing that not all procrastination is bad. While labelling pure task avoidance as ‘negative procrastination’, he describes ‘positive procrastination’, where we take time to mull over things before we act, as productive, useful, and less stressful - often giving a better outcome. This short book is about planning and preparing, of acting rather than reacting, of looking before leaping. He cites Trump’s tweets as a case in point. Rayburn has amassed quotes, interviews, and industry examples to back up his thoughts. He delivers in a folksy, informal manner, which the average person will find appealing. I would have liked some reportage on research results and statistics to back up his claims, but I found the idea of questioning why a task is necessary and thinking it through beforehand quite attractive. Audio narrator Todd Eflin has an engaging tone and manner.
