Time Management: A listener's tool for t...

PROCRASTINATION RESEARCH GROUP
About this episode

This week, I chat with a listener from England, Jessica Shailes. Based on an earlier podcast about the "unschedule," Jessica developed an Excel spreadsheet to help her plan more effectively. The podcast includes an introductory section reviewing the concept of the unschedule with direct reference to Neil Fiore's book, The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play. You can find Neil's books on Amazon here.

You may download the sample spreadsheet that Jessica discusses in the podcast, or a blank template based on this work for your own use. Thanks Jessica!

Jessica has a new blog that you may find interesting. It's called Resolutions (not just for New Years!). Some great Vegan recipes here.

You can always learn more at procrastination.ca (check out the Psychology Today blog Don't Delay), or by reading The Procrastinator's Digest: A Concise Guide to Solving the Procrastination Puzzle.
