Synopsis

Break the Bonds of Anxiety-Driven Procrastination

You know that postponing things you need to do can result in negative consequences-overdue bills, unhappy supervisors, disappointed friends and romantic partners, and feelings of guilt or dread-but something inside keeps you from taking action. For many of us, that something is anxiety-fear of failure, firmly entrenched perfectionism, or even fear of success. With The Worrier's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination, you'll develop the skills you need to understand and conquer the anxiety that lies at the root of your chronic avoidance. These proven skills for overcoming procrastination will help you to work productively, enjoy guilt-free leisure time, and free yourself from the anxiety that holds you back.

Use this effective program to:

•Identify the specific reasons behind your procrastination
•Eradicate the negative thinking patterns that fuel anxiety
•Set goals for boosting your productivity and improving time management
•Make the commitment to change your habits for good
