Take a look at the 3 people below...

When they started, they were normal procrastinators, unable to work outside the structure of a traditional office. But when they applied these powerful techniques, here’s what happened:

I've been into self-improvement for over 20 years, and I've tried plenty of systems to help with my productivity.

 

The Procrastination Playbook is the best system I've come across for tackling productivity. It doesn't just share unrelated hacks, but engineers a completely new systematic approach.

Justin Shovelain

Founder, Convergence Analysis

My life has transitioned from 18 hour/day Youtube escapism to 18 hours of productive effort. I don’t think I could have achieved this turnaround without Matt’s course. 

Melody Braithwaite

Painter & Artist

Before the Procrastination Playbook, it always felt like hard work, like I was felt like I was letting myself down and not achieving what I wanted to do.

 

Now I feel much ‘freer’. I have a belief that I can achieve what I want to do, and a clearer idea what those goals and values are.

Elisse Higginbotham

Optometrist

Compare those amazing results to the typical excuses I hear...

  • I have ADHD, procrastination is just part of how my brain works.

  • I’ve tried everything, I should just accept that I need more structure than my current situation provides.

  • I get too distracted by the internet. If it wasn’t for that I would be laser-focused.

  • I’ll read that book, or take that course tomorrow. Right now I need to focus on catching up on my work.

What is the difference between the people who make excuses...

and the people who are able to overcome procrastination?

The excuse-makers think they need to do it on their own. They think if they just have more willpower, or fewer distractions, they’ll succeed. They think that if they just push themselves a little harder, it will all work out.

 

The people who ultimately overcome procrastination, like those above, do things differently. They create a structure that makes it impossible to fail, by using coaches, accountability buddies, and a supportive community. They realize that focus is a skill, and train themselves step-by-step, instead of making ad-hoc changes. They understand the reason for their procrastination, and attack the root causes, instead of treating the symptoms.

 

They take control of their own mental habits, and as a result, they’ll reap the benefits for the rest of their lives. 

MY STORY

This story is embarrassing.

(But it has a happy ending!)

Hi, I’m Matt. As a lifelong procrastinator, I’ve always struggled to work outside of a rigid structure like an office environment. 10 years ago, I dropped out of college due to my procrastination,  😳 and that sent my on a journey to learn how to finally overcome it.

 

Since that time, I read more than a hundred books covering the subject from different angles, I went to workshops, and worked with coaches. I tried all sorts of various “solutions” to overcome my procrastination:

  • I tried blocking software, to prevent me from going to certain websites.
  • ​I tried accountability buddies to check in with me.
  • ​I tried various checklist and calendaring systems like GTD and Time Blocking.
  • ​I tried bets and monetary incentives so I would actually lose money if I procrastinated!
  • ​I tried positive self-talk and changing my inner world.

The truth is, no matter what I tried, nothing worked long term. It might work for a day, or a week, or even a month, but eventually I’d slip back into old habits.

 

Then, about two years ago, I had a breakthrough.

 

I found something called The Experiential Array, which allowed me to do was break down all human abilities into a set of simple components that allow anyone to INTERNALIZE them (I break down the array in the workshop).

 

 It allowed me to take all the tools, techniques and processes I had learned over the past 10 years, and break them down into their component parts. I could immediately find out what was missing, that, once added, would allow me to internalize the skill. 

 

Then I simply had to go find someone with the skill, ask them about the missing piece, and add it to the array.  

 

Almost immediately, things started to shift for me.

As I started to use the tools and insights I had gained, I no longer found myself in that “yoyo pattern” where things would only work for a little while. Instead, as I learned each of the tools from The Experential Array. I gradually shifted from a procrastinator to the productive person I had always dreamed of being.

 

And it was at that point I realized:

“I have to share this with others.”

 

None of the dozens of books, coaches, or workshops I had used in the past 10 years had quite put together the pieces like I had, and others deserved access to this material.

 

After hundreds of hours of iteration with people one-on-one, I finally developed a set of tools that worked for everyone I tried them with.  

 

I could, within just a few weeks, make the same transformation in people that it had taken me 10 years to make.

 

I ended up with a series of 8 repeatable lessons that worked for everyone.

 

And it's those lesson's that I teach in the Procrastination Playbook.

This course is a really comprehensive distillation of a lot of different frameworks and techniques, into a coherent approach.

 

I think it could be quite valuable not just for people who identify as procrastinators but for anyone who wants to systematically review their life to see which situations tend to get them in a tangle, and learn new approaches for untangling (and not getting into tangles in the first place).

 

Not shallow stuff. I'd call it a "full stack" approach.

Malcolm Ocean

Founder, Complice

For most of my life, I have had a rhythm where I would get very excited and engaged in a project, followed by my excitement waning and my ability to engage falling off a cliff. Usually I would end up spending most of my time on distractions like computer games or Reddit and doing *just enough* to satisfy whoever I needed to satisfy, at the last minute that it was possible to do this.


Since doing the procrastination playbook, I have learned techniques for reconnecting with the values I have that drive my excitement about the projects I got involved with in the first place.


I also understand better why I found it very hard to motivate myself to do other things that aren't in line with my values, and I am more inclined take opportunities to recognize when these other things are supporting my values as well.

 

I would recommend the procrastination playbook to anyone who believes that they chronically procrastinate and feels frustrated with themselves for procrastinating
