Excuses: Everyone uses them to cover for their failures, insecurities, and laziness. But, there's a problem: excuses are just that. Excuses. They are no physical manifestation, but just a figment of our imagination. But if you're going to be living in an imaginary world, why not make your excuses something that's actually productive?

Author Nijel James argues that excuses stop people from making progress on their own terms and that by utilizing a few simple strategies you can become more productive while progressing on your own time frame. His book provides detailed instruction on how to remove the ‘excuses’ that are standing in the way of your success—also giving some great insights into why we make these excuses in the first place!

The book is full of easy to apply hacks on:

- How to stop procrastinating by using the 10 minutes trick

- How to stay focused even when you are stressed

- Making small changes to create a big impact

- How to avoid mood swings and self-sabotage

- A way of setting bulletproof boundaries

- Getting in the 'zone' and staying there

The book also contains Nijel's 4 Step Progression model where he lays out four stages of productivity (for more information check out the book) complete with progress tracking tools to help reach your goals.

Excuses: Everyone Uses Them, but it won't be you.
