The Procrastination-Protection Syndrome explains why we:
know the basic principles of time management but can't bring ourselves to use them
often procrastinate on tasks that require solitude
avoid making decisions that are extremely important
often engage in compulsive eating, smoking, excessive consumption of caffeine, or other meaningless activities
feel like workaholics but never seem to finish anything
don't fee that we are fulfilling our destinies
avoid the use of the right side of the brain, which holds the key to ending procrastination
Borrowing equally from her own story of recovery from procrastination, composite clinical case examples, psychological research, and interviews with highly productive individuals such as Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Peterson offers a way out of the tomorrow trap so that we can finally take charge of our lives, savor success and embrace our essential destinies.
