Lukas Gregor In the domestic environment, practically every book that people notice (and buy) is considered a bestseller, although they do not represent the direct target group. Small market and actually small expectations. This is not always the case. Jan Melvil Publishing, a small publishing house from Brno, published the first book by Peter Ludwig and a label bestseller it could be so big that even the title of the book would hide under it.
Please visit pages on Facebook, over fourteen thousand fans will raise eyebrows, even if you don't have to pay tribute to this network. Constant reprints, distribution through both Apple and Wooky platforms (and in October also Kindle) all indicate that it was a good choice with Ludwig. AND a look at reflections in the media it suggests that the topic of procrastination is digging its claws into our society more strongly than we could imagine. (Or even wish?)
He appeared on the Mítvšehotovo server text, which to the book No more procrastination she approaches it the way I do myself. It is very important which starting line you are currently on when flipping through the book. If you are a long-time user of GTD, you are fiddling with a planning diary, and you have already read and dusted the personal development literature and put it behind your poetry collections on the shelves because you finally managed to find time for the verses again, then you will read Ludwig's cure for procrastination at a distance . Because it doesn't really offer anything new, nothing that would get you out of your chair and say, this is how I'm going to start doing it.
His eclecticism, where practically every page is a déjà vu to other literature or lectures from TED, but does not cause negative points in the evaluation. On the contrary, I appreciate it when someone can understand everything important in a given area in a very comprehensible way, process it for people who don't have the time or cells for other books, and add to them their own experience and perspective. (For example, from the field of art theory, I was so excited by Třeštík's "elevator" The art of perceiving art.) I can brush up on some basics. But - I'm not the target.
And we come to the second group, the one that, if he takes DILL into her hands, she'll most likely be thrilled (and the sales numbers and reader reviews prove me right). Peter Ludwig is good at speaking in front of people, giving lectures, training, but he was able to deal with the written speech very well, he helps himself with the pictures. He is clear, he doesn't run away, he gives practical instructions (and it doesn't matter if they are straight out of his head or from somewhere...). He sensibly conceives his book as a journey - from getting to know yourself, your mission, to building habits and following them.
Why such a cloud of interest arose around his work can be attributed, in addition to good marketing, to the hunger and abundance of people for clear solutions to their inability to start doing something. There are many of them and they are willing to pay a few crowns for it. It may be a certain calculation on the part of Ludwig, but it may also be a need to help, whether you look at it with suspicion or with optimism, with his book the author uncovers the secret of eternal procrastination and leads to its solution through an approach to oneself and to life. So he is not supremely pragmatic and rather looks for answers more deeply, which I like.
What's wrong with the fact that some instructions rather rely on the fact that you are not able to really "stump" and say that you are going to do something. Yes, I tried the buzzer ticket and other tools and I was happy to cut myself off from them, because I discovered that I am more a slave to the system than someone who determines and experiences something. However, the Todo-today ticket can be a very functional tool for many to organize their work for the given day, and a personal SWOT analysis enables a better understanding of what you actually enjoy.
With the final judgement, I'll somewhat alibisically avoid unequivocal praise or criticism (I'm not schizophrenic), I'd rather give priority to your comments. If you have experience with the book and its instructions on how to cut yourself off from procrastination, please share them.

I would read it, but I'm too lazy to…
Ten reasons why I'm so lazy:
1.
Describe yourself in three words: lazy
Hmmm, I think it's a great book. I read it and can only recommend it to everyone. Personally, the book also helped me a lot in understanding why I am unable to understand the actions of some people, sometimes including myself :))))
I bought the book, but I haven't even looked at it yet, because I lend it to people who I think need it more... :-D
