Description
"Jon reminds us that true leaders act, not just plan. This book gives you the courage and clarity to move forward today, not someday." --John C. Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author and leadership expert
If You Read This Book, You'll Never Procrastinate Again
Procrastination is the most expensive fear because the price tag is your life. Every day you wait to begin, you're stealing from your future self. The worst part? You know you're doing it--but you don't know how to stop.
The solution may surprise you. It's not willpower. It's not discipline. It's not another productivity system. It's one word: permission. Permission is the gap-closer--the thing that stands between who you want to be and who you actually are. And it's the thing New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff discovered after thirty-four years of waiting before he wrote his first book. Once he found it, he wrote eleven more.
In Procrastination Proof, Jon gives you that same permission--through a practical, four-step system you can apply to everything from your most mundane task to your most audacious dream:
· Permission to dream--stop dismissing your ideas before they have a chance to breathe
· Permission to plan--turn vague intentions into clear, honest next steps
· Permission to do--take action today, not someday, without waiting for perfect conditions
· Permission to review--learn from what happened and keep moving, without shame or stalling
The advice is immediate. The pace is urgent. And the result--when you stop waiting for permission that was yours all along--is a remarkable life: one where your actions finally match your intentions.
You're not too old. It's not too late. Don't buy into the lie of later. You have permission to try, to risk, and to win--starting now.

Jon’s new book continues to give us soundtracks to be successful against the many levels of procrastination. He describes the 4 different stages of goal setting (dream, plan, do, and review) and gives us ideas on how to stop procrastinating during the process. He reminds us about the truths from actions and not let feelings stop us. So many concepts I’ve never learned before in other books. Definitely a keeper! Such a great companion to goal setting!

Jon Acuff has done it again. Procrastination Proof is definitely as exciting a page turner as the best mystery book on my shelf. As part of the Remarkable You Community, I’m so thankful to have essentially a front row seat to the making of such a fantastic book.
