Procrastinate on purpose
Rory Vaden

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.
