How is this workbook organized?
Procrastination has nothing to do with laziness or passivity. Nor is about learning endless productivity hacks. It’s about not-knowing how to manage the psychological processes that drive you to procrastinate.
This workbook, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps you to understand why you put things off, and more importantly, how to overcome these patterns. From the first to the last chapter you’ll learn to compassionately recognize and tackle the roots of procrastinating behaviors while practicing essential psychological skills. You’ll learn to tame all that mental noise that pops up when you’re facing important stuff-whether it’s work, hobbies, or anything else you care about before diving into action.
Whether you’re facing looming deadlines or day-to-day demands, these pages provide you with the tools you need to move from abstract intentions to values-based actions.
Learn to align your actions with your values, get things done, and build a life you’re truly proud of.
Finally, a book that unmasks the roots of procrastination rather than simply scolding you to try harder! Dr. Z provides an empowering, compassionate toolkit for navigating the barriers to starting a project, so you can learn to fully engage your life with creativity and flow.
Whether you’re a clinician or a client, this book is extremely useful! We’ve all procrastinated in our lives, and this book will help you understand what drives you to procrastinate and provide you with evidence-based tools to take more action and make fewer excuses.
A compassionate, practical guide for anyone looking to reduce avoidance and live with greater intention. With rich case examples and engaging experiential exercises, this workbook brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to life—A must-read for all procrastinators.
Procrastination is the time-honored art of identifying tasks that we find difficult or painful, and then extending our discomfort around those tasks for as long as possible. Like any skill, our ability to put things off develops over a lifetime, and can eventually become second nature. Even if you’ve mastered the art, this book offers a different path. It starts with a clear description of the tricky psychology behind procrastination, and lays bare the myths that maintain it. Then it challenges you to be clearer about your deepest wishes in life, and who you want to be. Finally, it guides you through a new practice of Compassionate Accountability that will help you bring your day-to-day choices more fully into alignment with what you really value.
Dr. Zurita Ona’s clear, practical guide offers a more direct path between you and the things you want to accomplish. It reveals how even the way we set goals or apparent efforts at “increasing productivity” can be traps. This is a book about changing your relationship with time, and letting go of the exhausting struggle to avoid doing the things that matter. I highly recommend it!
Bringing a deep expertise in ACT to one of the most common and frustrating struggles, this book offers practical tools to move forward and the invaluable gift of greater self-understanding.
This big-impact book is packed with expert insights and suggestions to help you make sense of your procrastination patterns, stand up to difficult emotions, and take confidence-boosting, actionable steps toward greater productivity and a joyful life.
This practical workbook guides the reader past those processes that block action, making you overlook what truly matters. You learn about “compassionate accountability”, “ruling thoughts”, and” pesky feelings”. The wise “Tale of Two Arrows “illuminates your relationship with your critical self. I highly recommend it!
Twenty years of planning, hoping and avoiding writing a book. I know all the tricks and excuses the anxious mind can come up with. I’m now deep into writing my own. Open this book and get to work.
A well-written, easy-to-use guide for transforming your relationship with anxiety and dissolving the barriers that hold you back from doing the things that matter.
Wise, compassionate, and extremely practical.
