Find something better

If you need to be scared into doing what you're supposed to, sure.
But it's dry and like a textbook with alot of comments that make me feel like a bad member of society for procrastinating. I'd find something else. Wish I hadnt taken so long to try and read this a few times because I want me credit back....

tldr: 'just do it'

Are you a procrastinator? You know that voice in your head that endlessly tells you how much better life would be if you weren't? This book is that, backed up by science and read by someone who sounds like your dad. There doesn't seem to be any science behind the solutions, however (ex. 'just do it NOW' ha!). There are no examples or stories about people actually getting better.

A supplemental reading for students on topic.










As dry and as technical as any text book could be full of case studies and statistics.

misleading

Don't read this book. It's a waste of time. Something a lot more useful would be 'The willpower instinct' my Kelly McGonigal.

'Still procrastinating' is a series of condescending statements on how 'procrastination is a deadly disease' and how people who don't meet timelines should be harshly punished for being a burden to themselves and to society.

This kind of advice is profusely dispenced by any layman. I thought a book from PH D 'expert' would be more useful and insightful. Don't buy this book. Don't read this book.
