My copy of the Procrastinator's Handbook was delivered Friday. So far I'm halfway through reading it and like Jim have found it to be entertaining, thought-provoking, and inspirational. I certainly fit the profile of certain types of procrastinator. I'm taking heart froom the fact that there are simple techniques that can be used to overcome the 'affliction'. I'm far from being the world's worst procrastinator but there's certainly room for improvement. The book's confirmation that most people procrastinate to some degree or another is a comfort. But there's no room for complacency. I'm looking forward to finishing the book and putting into action the steps necessary to become an anticrastinator. No doubt I'll mention some of the steps here - that'll help focus my attention on them. I'll even document some of my procrastinations as I overcome them as I think this will help me focus.

It's likely that I would have finished the book today had it not been for the fact that my normal train service has been resumed. Last week was pretty unproductive during the commute to/from work since the need to switch to a ScotRail service between Edinburgh and Glasgow is not conducive for work. This service is so cramped and over-busy that I can't bring myself to use the iBook on the journey. Now that the GNER service is back, I have sufficient space and quiet to use the iBook. Hence catching up on the backlog of news for the Jotter.
