This happens to almost everyone: we put off doing unpleasant things and end up living from deadline to deadline. Why is it so difficult to resist procrastination and get back to work on time? This book, written by two modern Dutch psychologists, answers many questions: why do we want to procrastinate so much and why is this common to all people; why procrastination is not laziness; what are the symptoms of procrastination, how to identify them in yourself... But the main thing is how to deal with it. With the help of simple short tests and exercises, you will learn how to better manage your time, create a positive work attitude and stay motivated to complete difficult projects and unpleasant tasks that you just want to put off.
