Life live living. Now. Now Money. Now. Now usually refers to the present time. Now or NOW may also refer to: Albums[edit] Songs[edit] Media[edit] Other uses[edit] 18 Rules of Living by the Dalai Lama. Green. World_without. The Now Habit. In this post, I present a mind map with the full summary of the book The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play. Despite a cover that reminds me of the “remarkable” Windows 3.1 ‘Hot Dog Stand’ color scheme, I don’t have much to say about The Now Habit other than it’s one of the most useful books I’ve ever read.

Since its publication back in 1988, it has become well-known among chronic procrastinators looking for ways to overcome this crippling condition, and for very good reasons. The Procrastination Habit As the title of the book suggests, procrastination is a habit — it’s not caused by lack of organization or lack of time management skills. If you’re looking for time management tools as a way to overcome procrastination, I suspect you may be getting yourself just another set of toys to play while you procrastinate.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m a big fan of Getting Things Done and other time management methods — they really work for me today. Live. Living present. Self Improvement.
