How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019
To be fair I skimmed the tips, having skipped the first half of the book which is just preamble on what procrastination is and why it’s bad. Yes i get it. If i hadn’t just finished a different book on the same topic with the same points but i did so i didn’t need it or want it. The suggestions/tips themselves were utterly basic. Anyone that has struggled with procrastination will have already tried these. If you are brand new to the world (eg high school, college, work) it may be helpful to review them. Also as someone with ADD some of these suggestions/tips are actually counter productive. If you are completely unaffected by ADD type mindset and are able to plan and execute everything you set your mind to but simply lack organizational skills or have simply never tried to not procrastinate then this might be for you. It probably won’t help the ‘I tried everything else but it’s a constant battle, give me some new ideas or specific strategies’ among us.
Some tip examples: turn off your phone to eliminate digital distractions, hire someone to do the boring stuff.

I wish I could return it. :-/

I’ve battled procrastination for many years, it just seems easy to do things that are more fun vs. work ...

Having read several books in recent years I have been working on it and seeing improvements. This book has 21 clear steps to help incorporate into your life, to build new, good habits.

For me, I think procrastination happens due to overwhelm, stress or lack of sleep, perfectionism, and making too many to-do list items. ;) And all the tech distractions , and Netflix...

I have been making some changes and love it. The other day I cleaned out my closet and dresser of stuff I didn’t want or need, itemized and took it to Goodwill. Now things look better, aren’t jam packed in, and my life is a bit less cluttered.

Awesome! Now I plan to keep practicing the new good habits until they are more ‘normal ‘ for me, and reread the book. Actually I think I’ll type the list and tape it to mirror or cupboard door as a daily reminder of my new path.

Many thanks to the author for this book. Learning is great, but still you must apply and do it. He has many tips to assist.

This is HANDS DOWN the most comprehensive, yet clearly presented book I've ever read on this topic. Wonderfully organized and eminently readable, it opens your eyes to WHY you're actually procrastinating, then proceeds to offer all sorts of terrific ACTION STEPS to implement immediately!
I didn't realize how much I was avoiding doing all sorts of things that I really wanted to get done. They are now getting done; all those to-do's that were hanging over my head are disappearing. This book has seriously CHANGED MY LIFE! You won't be disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018

There are probably a thousand books about procrastination. I don't think this is an exaggeration. I am sure I have read at least two dozen myself.

THIS book (like all of Damon's work) contains easy-to-understand, ACTIONABLE techniques that will help YOU make change ... no matter who you are, what or why you procrastinate

What seems to set Damon's advice apart is that it has been proven out in the laboratory of his own life. Damon acknowledges his own struggle with procrastination and shares simple methods that ACTUALLY WORK based on first hand, experiential benefit

5.0 out of 5 stars On the road to procrastination recovery!
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018

I decided to download this book when I was at the end of my rope trying to motivate myself to complete an important assignment for a college class. The tips in this book helped me take immediate action, and I completed the assignment earlier than normal and to a higher standard than my normal work since I had more time to work on it.

The book is concise and to the point, which makes it easy to take immediate action and put the various methods to use.

I look forward to re-reading the book and incorporating more of the tips in my daily life. But so far this book has already had an incredible effect on my procrastination!
I’ve recommended this book to some of my friends and look forward to seeing how it impacts their productivity too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical book to attack procrastination!
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018

I love that the author was short on theory and long on practically and that he zeroed right in on real and common procrastination pitfalls such as social media, binge watching series, video games, etc. It also helps enormously that he was a world class procrastinator, worse than most of us! His 21 specific tools are helping immensely! And his recognition of Active Procrastination as one tool in the arsenal was a big relief!

Damon hits the mark with this book. I really wish this book had been available to me years ago, as it would have helped me in college. I'm using his techniques now, and I'm grateful I found this book. Shocking how a quick, easy read can be so life changing.

This book has blessed me tremendously it has opened up my eyes as to why I truly procrastinate realizing and understanding it's not because I'm lazy it's because I need to put things in perspective I am so grateful that this book came at a time in my life when I see myself doing greater things in life.. I have order in my life now, and I am so grateful that because I took the time to read this book, my life will be for ever changed and I'm able to impart the same principles into other people and letting them see their shortcomings as well and understanding it's not that they don't want to...they just need to learn how to prioritize their lives in order to see the results that they need in order to move forward

5.0 out of 5 stars Evidence based. Cited studies. Very readable.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018

I found that this book had many worthy ideas. I plan to re-read it and actually study it in order to effectively implement what it has to teach. What I liked most was that the knowledge was evidence based. Too many self-help books are based only on the author's experience and not scientific studies. This author actually cites the studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical and useful information
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

The author is a very organized fellow, who puts his ideas forth clearly and articulately. I found his book easier to implement and his systems easy to adopt. Its a matter of making and having good habits. He outlines what those habits are and how to become more productive. I have read the Pomadoro book, but the way that this author puts forth the ideas in the Pomadoro method are far more inspirational and effective. I look forward to other books from this author!
