The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done
by Piers Steel
DON'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK: The world's leading expert on procrastination uses his groundbreaking research to offer understanding on a matter that bedevils us all. Writing with humour, humanity and solid scientific information reminiscent of Stumbling on Happiness and Freakonomics, Piers Steel explains why we knowingly and willingly put off a course of action despite recognizing we'll be worse off for it. For those who surf the Web instead of finishing overdue assignments, who always say diets start tomorrow, who stay up late watching TV to put off going to sleep, The Procrastination Equation explains why we do what we do or in this case don't and why in Western societies we're in the midst of an escalating procrastination epidemic.Dr. Piers Steel takes on the myths and misunderstandings behind procrastination and motivation showing us how procrastination affects our lives, health, careers and happiness and what we can do about it. With accessible prose and the benefits of new scientific research, he provides insight into why we procrastinate even though the result is that we are less happy, healthy, even wealthy. Who procrastinates and why? How many ways, big and small, do we procrastinate? How can we stop doing it? The reasons are part cultural, part psychological, part biological. And, with a million new ways to distract ourselves in the digitized world all of which feed on our built-in impulsiveness more of us are potentially damaging ourselves by putting things off. But Steel not only analyzes the factors that weigh us down but the things that motivate us including understanding the value of procrastination.

I don't. Procrastination deals with me. Generally with it ending in a lot of trouble.

I remind myself that the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can move on to something I want to do.

Procrastinating will only extend the misery.. so to speak.

I am very good at procrastinating. Eventually though I just feel really bad about it and do it anyway. I think if you have a moral compass you will eventually get around to doing what you need to do.
