It's understandable that we'd put off cleaning the fridge or completing our tax return; but why do we swerve a loved one, a vocation, a hobby, or a new life that feels supremely meaningful to us?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Simon May argues that the almost universal consensus around overcoming procrastination - setting priorities and optimizing time management: working \"smarter not harder\" - might work for the boring things but is of little use when it comes to treasured goals that we're avoiding.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jump! proposes seven radically new ways in which we can overcome this life-sabotaging procrastination. May claims that, for all their pain, the regret and boredom created by procrastination can shine the brightest light on our top priorities, either reaffirming our commitment to them or teaching us that we're on the wrong path. This is the unexpected blessing of procrastination: that it offers hope of becoming ourselves.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46395809136798,"sku":"ADS-9781399807098","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781399807098.jpg?v=1768266133","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781399807098","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
