Publisher's Synopsis
Let's face it, you're probably reading this book as an excuse not to do something else. Whether that's an excuse not to do the pile of laundry, or to go to sleep we all do it. Procrastination is normal, in fact, it's unlikely that anyone will tell you they have never done it. Everyone procrastinates. Sometimes procrastination can even be good for us, by taking time to decide if we really need to do something we are, in fact, prioritizing other things. Bet you didn't know that? You are demonstrating a variety of useful and powerful skills by procrastinating, they're just a little mismanaged. That's all.
Procrastinators come in many different sizes and forms, there are those who do it because they strive for perfectionism and know the future task will likely not end up perfect, and also those who put a task off because it's not important. Procrastination at its root is simply time management - making or taking the time to do something.
Just because you procrastinate it does not mean you're lazy, many times we put off actions because we know they're unpleasant or that the outcome won't make us happy. It's human nature to seek happiness so it's not surprising that we put off tasks in the hope of eventually getting out of them.
Often, we're aware of our procrastination; but what if you're not? Sometimes time slips away without even noticing and before you know it the day has gone and you've done nothing you had planned on.

As humans have evolved it has become easier to procrastinate. Machines do our jobs for us, computers have made work and play into very similar mechanics so that our brains often forget which is which. We don't pay attention because we are bombarded with so many things at once that total focus has become an inconvenience and something we perceive as holding us back from being as productive as possible. In fact, it's this very tendency to try and do everything that makes us procrastinate and causes us to be less productive.
There is a big difference between someone who is a chronic procrastinator and someone who simply puts off things on occasion. Serial procrastination can be debilitating. It can hurt your bank account, your home, and even your health. Procrastination becomes a problem when it noticeably affects your life.
Finding out the root cause of your procrastination is the key to making yourself more productive and achieving that goal of perfectionism. To appease our own ego we have to come to terms with what we have put off until now.
