Publisher Comments

Rory Vaden (Take the Stairs) brings his high-energy approach and can-do spirit to the most nagging problem in our professional lives: stalled productivity. Whether were overworked, organizationally challenged, or have a motivation issue thats holding us back, millions of us are struggling to get things done.

 

In this simple yet powerful new book, Procrastinate on Purpose, Vaden presents the five permissions that set us free to do our best work – on time and without wasting energy battling stress and anxiety.

 

Using the POP model, readers will learn to:

  • Eliminate
  • Automate
  • Delegate
  • Consolidate
  • Procrastinate (yes, you heard that right)
 Anyone seeking to up their game, do meaningful work, and ditch the stress of looming deadlines and too many tasks on the front burner will embrace this smart, insightful guide.

Review

“Managing your time is a lot like managing your money. Its not about the numbers; its about your behavior. The best time-management tricks in the world wont do you much good if they dont actually make your life better. In Procrastinate on Purpose, Rory builds on what weve all heard about time management and adds the two things that have always been missing: emotion and significance.”

—Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host

"A brilliant insight turned into an actionable method. Start now!"

—Seth Godin, author of Linchpin

"The thing I love about Rory Vadens books is that long before he writes about principles, he lives them. If you've ever thought, ‘I wish I had more time, read the great principles in this book. And then I dare you to do what Rory does: live them."

—Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Start and Quitter

"We all wish we had more time. It turns out we have plenty to spare. In Procrastinate on Purpose, Rory Vaden shows us how to take our time back and sets us free from the shackles of tired time management techniques."

—Ken Coleman, author of One Question and host of The EntreLeadership podcast

Synopsis

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
Have you ever felt the urge to declutter your work life?
Do you often find yourself stretched too thin?
Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you frequently busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people's agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
The Way of the Essentialist isn't about getting more done in less time. It's about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing - it's a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to do less, but better, and declutter and organize their own their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

About the Author

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER 

Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?

 

Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?

 

Are you often busy but not productive?

 

Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?

 

If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.

 

The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.  It is not  a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter. 

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.

Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives.

Essentialism  is a movement whose time has come.
