Book Preview:

#1 The emotional roots of procrastination involve your fears, hopes, memories, dreams, doubts, and pressures. But many procrastinators don’t recognize all that’s going on under the surface, because they use procrastination to avoid uncomfortable feelings.

#2 The roots of your tendency to delay extend beyond your personal history and involve your social relationships and culture. It’s important to understand these influences without criticism or blame.

#3 The dictionary definition of the verb procrastinate is to postpone, put off, or defer something. The word comes from the joining of two Latin words: pro, meaning forward, and crastinus, which means belonging to tomorrow. Procrastination has been a problem since ancient times.

#4 Procrastination plagues people of all occupations. It is easy to delay when no one is watching to make sure you follow through. In increasingly competitive corporate settings, some people slow down instead of trying to keep up with the fast pace.
