A dadaist approach to Procrastination?

I should try & get hold of the revised version of this, in order to review it but, where was I? Yes! Reviewing! This book is... odd, and brilliant! I just kind of opened it at random, and found - very odd metaphors, and incredibly spot-on advice & *techniques*. I'm a chronic procrastinator, with a lot of non-understandable resistance. If I think a book is REALLY going to help me, I often have trouble actually reading it. So, this book. Definitely in that category. I got to one of the exercises on just feeling my resistance to something I don't like (timesheets), and just - EXACERBATE that feeling! Not resisting, or minimising, but asking myself, how bad can this feeling get? And the answer was - not that bad. Huh. Yeah I feel horrible, and kinda sick in my stomach, but - so what? It's not gonna kill me. And right, dadaist! Why'd I say that? Because, instead of making nice simple metaphors, he makes really... odd ones. Do you have an anger problem like Jehovah? A kiddy-style parable of the forest animals, including turtle & hare, deciding whether to go to a procrastination support group. About a guy, who went hiking, and found a cave, and as he went deeper into it, it turned out to be a cave in his miiiind... 'Whoah dude...' It's just so oddly surreal at times that I don't feel threatened by it, and want to open it up again to see what the author is on about. And when I do, there it is. Another really good suggestion of what to do, and an insight into *why* I do what I do. I'll get back to this review if/when I finish it, but it's given me enough value to give it a positive rating now.
