Still procrastinating on reading that book Anna.  Maybe you can summarize the chapter for us chronic procrastinators.

Yes, I remember all Dr. Dyer's books. We recently lost him, sadly.

I am erratic - I will dig right in and stage everything . . . then it goes into a schedule and I touch it again when it's time to.

I've never read that book but I usually get the job done.  But because I'm a perfectionist like Nina Hollander I obsess over it and it is never done, done until the due date when I can no longer work on it.  John gets it done immediately and once completed he never looks back. -Kasey

Both... because deep down I'm a perfectionist I sometimes procrastinate because I want to avoid something not being perfect right out of the gate.

Yes, we remember Wayne Dyer, and his first book. I enjoyed his talks both on PBS and in another venue.  What I remember is that he used to meditate under a waterfall near his home in Maui.

Do we procrastinate?  We just get the most important stuff done first and put off the little stuff for later.  A

Alas, the former. It's very good for all the minor projects, they tend to get done as I'm avoiding the big one.

Not familiar with the book, but term papers were often typed the night before, or all night. Should definitely look up the book.
