Procrastinate on purpose

Book • 2015

Rory Vaden's "Procrastinate on Purpose" challenges conventional productivity wisdom.

Instead of fighting procrastination, Vaden suggests strategically delaying tasks to maximize efficiency and focus.

The book introduces the concept of the "Focus Funnel," a five-step process for prioritizing tasks based on their importance and the individual's unique strengths.

Readers learn to eliminate, automate, delegate, procrastinate (purposefully), and concentrate on high-impact activities.

The book emphasizes the importance of working in one's signature strength area and avoiding distractions.
