Story
For many people, procrastination is a daily vice that prevents them from doing really important and urgent tasks when there is no outside pressure. Postponement can become a problem not only in daily private activities, but especially in professional life. Psychologists go as far as to describe procrastination as a disruption of self-regulation, since the procrastinator cannot endure anything unpleasant in the short term to achieve something positive in the long term.

Useful and Actionable Guide
While the title is a bit hyperbolic, this is a good guide to the myriad reasons people procrastinate and different strategies and techniques for overcoming that barrier to success. For those who are well-read in self-development literature, there is little or no new information, but this book does concisely cover a lot of material and, unlike many books that discuss the WHY of procrastination, this one not only delves into several different causes but actionable steps that can be taken to try and overcome each procrastination source. A good book for anyone who has tried and failed to take action and needs to know what steps to try for their particular brand of struggle.
