It's a good book, insightful and eye-opening, and it has some good pointers in identifying issues and roadblocks in you that have been stopping you from finishing, but I wish it had more pointers in how to combat these things. This person lets you know when you need to do things, and he or she chides you when you want to give up. The book is more of a manual I'd say as it is very practical, easy to read and understand thanks to the examples and comes with the summary included. By developing your follow-through muscles, being in line with your motivations and intentions, and embodying the qualities that allow you to finish what you have on hand, you cultivate a sense of purpose and drive that fosters progress, enabling you to overcome obstacles and navigate anything in front of you to achieve your aspirations.
If the opportunity cost is too expensive for you to want to pay it, then you will not follow through.It requires you to develop a resilient mindset, retain focus, and not give in to distractions easily. It’s akin to the head because it is focus that keeps your head in the game and your eyes on the prize. Likewise, if you are self-disciplined, it will be easier for you to focus on what needs to be done and avoid distractions.
Temptation bundling is an excellent and efficient way to kill procrastination and increase productivity by combining present and future selves and their conflicting needs. For example, the habit that stuck out to me the most was the limitations and rules to set for yourself.
If you're someone who is a novice when it comes to organising your day, then this book will give you a very gentle but right direction towards taking that "first" step to the world of productivity. Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over 12 years and is a best-selling author. Finishing what you start will always require “sacrifice”, such as giving up time, spending money, or increasing effort that could be spent on activities you enjoy.
The spine of following through, self-discipline, is what enables you to get your head down and work when you need to, even if you don’t want to. In an amusing and glaringly obvious set of scenarios and examples, he takes a thorough look at why we are sometimes stuck, and gives detailed, step by step solutions you can start using today. Among these mechanisms are (1) laziness and lack of discipline, (2) fear of judgment, rejection, and failure, (3) perfectionism out of insecurity, and (4) lack of self-awareness. These are manageable, realistic and inventive ways to get my work done, given my own personal quirks. Having someone to excitedly share your progress with and to cheer you on is far more motivational than feeling ashamed of lack of progress, in my opinion.If you want something negative, harmful, or detrimental to your follow through, wait at least 10 minutes before getting it. When we lose steam, we aren’t tied closely enough to any of those aspects, which come together to create motivation. Unlike your self-discipline and willpower, a system organizes you and helps you perform your duties without having to push yourself.
