Terribly written, with a lot of grammar mistakes. Like this, I could barely focus on the content.
It seemed to me very similar to "Atomic Habits", although that one is a much better book.

I couldn't really focus on the message of the book because I kept getting distracted by spelling and grammatical errors

Interesting!

This book gave me some great ideas and great advice on how to become more productive and avoid the pitfalls of procrastination. I will certainly be implementing some of the suggestions into my daily routine.
I docked one star however, because this book seems to have been put together quite rapidly and while reading I noticed lots of annoying spelling and grammatical typos. The misuse of the words "then" and "than" was one of the more noticeable errors. Some sentences I had to read multiple times to ensure I was not skipping a word, but it turns out, the sentence didn't convey a complete thought.
I appreciate the invaluable information that is held within this text but it is so much more difficult to focus when I have to wade through typos and mere lack of grammar/spellcheck.
I look forward to utilizing the suggestions offered throughout the book as means of potentially becoming less of a procrastinator.

Pretty decent book, obviously not well edited

Would concur with other reviewers that little, if any, editing was done on this book. That said, it has useful tips, so it's worth dealing with the grammar struggles.

Really bad writing, grammar rules were thrown out the window, it is very incoherent and confusing. I found nothing new in terms of value in this, when compared to other books around the same topic.
It was actually painful to read.

Time is Money
Managing your is an important part in getting more done in less time. Procrastinating is one of the main reasons why most people do not get more work done. Waiting till the last minute to complete a task is not good.
Time is money gives advice of how to prevent things like procrastinating from happening. Building healthy habits, how to be more motivated, becoming more focus and less distracted, being indecisive, and overcoming feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
One that I now start doing in my daily life Is how to handle the feeling of being anxious and overwhelmed. Now I have a lot of homework for my classes that I start getting stressed out. Especially since one class already has multiple projects that I have to complete.
I feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I must do. I tend to procrastinate when I feel overwhelmed. This book has taught me is to write down what I have to do. Also, it says “Feeling overwhelmed can usually be conquered by taking the smallest action step. Once you get moving, you’ll find the negative feelings fade away and your motivation to complete that task increase.”
This quote helped me complete many of my task. Taking that small step in order to not feel as overwhelmed. The book also advised to set a time limit and do the easiest thing first. I incorporate those into my life. I typically do my easiest homework for so I can focus more on the homework that is more challenging.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has trouble managing their time. Time is money will help with that and give you a better structure when trying to complete an upcoming task.

"Majority of people are motivated by rewards, not punishment." -page 18

Aku sepertinya kurang fokus ketika hendak memutuskan baca buku ini. Awalnya aku kira ini berisikan tentang finansial atau tips-tips seputar keuangan gitu. Tapi setelah aku ngeuh soal judulnya, ternyata ini tuh lebih membahas tentang manajemen waktu. Gini nih kalau mata duitan, ada tulisan "money" aja langsung melek, hahaha.

Secara sederhana memang buku ini akan memberi kita tips-tips sederhana mengenai manajemen waktu yang baik. Kenapa orang-orang suka melakukan prokastinasi atau menunda-nunda, kemudian apa yang harus dilakukan ketika goal yang di-setting nggak sesuai harapan. Semuanya ada di sini.

Mungkin karena aku pribadi merasa familiar dengan step-step di sini, which is ada di buku Atomic Habits, membaca buku ini aku merasa bukan sesuatu yang baru gitu. Meskipun aku pribadi belum baca Atomic Habits. Tapi, ayolah, aku yakin semua orang tahu bahwa Atomic Habits mengajarkan untuk 1% lebih baik daripada kemarin, dan semua orang ibaratnya juga tahu isi buku itu.

Jadi ketika membaca buku ini aku sedikit merasa ada kemiripan di sana. Tapi nggak menyangkal juga kalau tips penulis yang lain di sini juga bisa applyable kok di dalam sini. Contoh yang disuguhkan penulis nggak yang "imajinasi tinggi" tapi memang benar-benar realistis.

Kekurangannya, mungkin perlu diperhatikan untuk layout nya sih. Karena kayak menurutku cukup sederhana atau kurang menimbulkan permainan terhadap visual di dalam sini. Kebanyakan narasinya seperti bersifat point-point tapi nggak ada indikator poin seperti penomoran, bullet point, dan lainnya.

I procrastinated on reading this book for months. See how bad my procrastination is?

There are three crucial elements to consider when addressing the issue of procrastination: goal, process, and progress. While developing the habit, emphasize the process more than the progress.

Don't fixate on the goal; focus on who we will become. The goal only serves to guide us, so don't let it control our lives.

Quick and concise

There maybe spelling and punctuation errors in this book but they do not take away from the great information that is given. This book is a quick and easy read with some great insights into how you can recognize and overcome procrastination. Stop thinking about it and just read it.

I also enjoyed this book because it offers practical tips on how to stop procrastinating. Sometimes you know every action steps available to resolve your resistance in doing an action. But wow, there is much you can still learn from this book. The only problem I think are the grammatical errors which you don’t expect.

I don't agree to the term time is money but luckily this book is not about that. It's more about the procrastination and time management, with helpful tips. An easy read, easy to understand and most important easy to apply in your daily life. There were a few eye openers as wel, so I got to know myself a little better by reading this book.

What makes this book of value in a cluttered field is the focus on the different types of distractions. The exploration of internal and external distractions enable a discussion of specific strategies to block or manage these challenges.

Solid.

Condenses popular pseudo scientific advice and common sense into a pragmatic short guide. It's good to remind you of things you already know and probably should be doing
