I have purchased the book! I am a huge proponent of productivity. Whether it means getting more done in the same amount of time, or getting the same done in less time, either way I have more time to do the truly fun things in my life. Whenever I start to work on my own personal productivity, I get backlash. It's my old habits saying, "I don't want to do this. It's hard. I have to be disciplined. Why can't we go back to the old way of just doing whatever is the most past due? I get a major adrenaline boost out of always being behind. Maybe I'm addicted to that panicky feeling of not knowing what isn't getting done." Ugh. It makes me feel crazy. I hate that :-D Peter,

Whenever I start to work on my own personal productivity, I get backlash. It’s my old habits saying, “I don’t want to do this. It’s hard. I have to be disciplined. Why can’t we go back to the old way of just doing whatever is the most past due? I get a major adrenaline boost out of always being behind. Maybe I’m addicted to that panicky feeling of not knowing what isn’t getting done.”

Ugh. It makes me feel crazy. I hate that :-D

I have to admit to sitting on the fence, despite articles of mine like this - http://snurl.com/lazydude On the one hand I am pretty busy and fond of getting things done effectively. On the other, I despise twiddly, look-at-everything-in-minor-detail kind of thinking that a lot of productivity proponents recommend. I also hate that stressful feeling I get when reading these kinds of articles. Maybe that's where the backlash lies - against the stress reaction to these kinds of articles - which is funny because people who embrace productivity do it to reduce stress! I think I am pretty happy to muddle along in a state of blissful chaos, but then I get to work doing things I really enjoy which is very motivating.
