Procrastinate on Purpose

Rory Vaden Β· 2015
88/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Rory Vaden's central move in Procrastinate on Purpose is clever: he reframes time management entirely, arguing the goal is not to manage time but to multiply it. His Focus Funnel β€” Eliminate, Automate, Delegate, Procrastinate, Concentrate β€” gives readers a practical sequence for deciding what deserves their attention and when. The most interesting insight is the deliberate delay: sometimes the right choice is to wait, because acting now on something that will change wastes effort that could go elsewhere. Adding the emotional dimension of 'significance' to productivity thinking genuinely distinguishes this from the crowded field. The book does stretch its core concept over more pages than strictly necessary, and experienced delegators may find some sections familiar. But for readers ready to think differently about their time, this one earns its shelf space.
