Why do we find ourselves putting off doing important things? Why do we procrastinate and then put ourselves in a position where we become overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and inadequacy, when deep down, we know very well that we are capable of giving so much more? Stop Procrastinating not only helps us answer these questions, but it also offers simple, practical, and effective solutions to keep the human tendency to procrastinate in check, and learn to develop the willpower needed to "get things done".
