Sample Book Insights:
#1 You may be a high-achiever, but you still may feel overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to do. You may be doing everything you can, but you’re still not getting everything done. The shoulds of life constantly tap you on the shoulder, reminding you not to forget about them.
#2 I had an overcommitment problem, which is when you have too much to do and always feel behind. The fear of disappointing someone constantly chased me. I had been reactive about my life, rather than being proactive.
#3 Procrastination has always been a silent companion of mine. I knew it was there, but I preferred to ignore it. I didn’t really think it was a problem. Everyone procrastinates on something, I reasoned.
#4 I was always busy, but I found that I was also procrastinating on good things. On creative things. On dreams that would make my heart sing.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

You may be a high-achiever, but you still may feel overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to do. You may be doing everything you can, but you’re still not getting everything done. The shoulds of life constantly tap you on the shoulder, reminding you not to forget about them.

#2

I had an overcommitment problem, which is when you have too much to do and always feel behind. The fear of disappointing someone constantly chased me. I had been reactive about my life, rather than being proactive.

#3

Procrastination has always been a silent companion of mine. I knew it was there, but I preferred to ignore it. I didn’t really think it was a problem. Everyone procrastinates on something, I reasoned.

#4

I was always busy, but I found that I was also procrastinating on good things. On creative things. On dreams that would make my heart sing.

#5

It is easier to get rid of some emails than it is to bake cookies. It is much easier to try to get rid of some emails than it is to prepare a class. The fear of the unknown keeps us from moving forward.

#6

procrastination is the thief of our best work. It’s answering emails rather than starting to write that novel. It’s replying to texts rather than filling out the adoption paperwork. It’s arranging meetings rather than drawing up the plans for an innovative project at work.

#7

We must trust that God will speak to us when we ask for direction. When we second-guess God, we get into trouble. We must avoid procrastination at all costs. It carries a high cost not only to our schedules but also to our hearts, spiritual lives, relationships, and finances.

#8

The heart of a procrastinator believes that tomorrow is a promise, but when we are honest with ourselves, we know that God hasn’t promised that. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, and we aren’t even guaranteed the rest of this day. We are stewards of the only moment we are given.

#9

You should identify two tasks or projects you’d like to tackle, and imagine what it would feel like to finally manage those areas well. Then, consider what impact those changes would have on your daily life.
