You’re human, so you probably procrastinate sometimes.

It’s a natural reaction to tasks that are difficult, boring, uncomfortable or lacking in immediate rewards.

But for some of us, it’s become an ingrained habit. And as a former chronic procrastinator, I know what a problem that can be.

These books helped. If procrastination is holding you back, take a look and choose the ones that seem most relevant to you.

They’ll get you back into action!

1: Solving The Procrastination Puzzle

Written by Timothy Psychl, a retired psychology professor who specialises in procrastination, this is a blessedly short primer for understanding our self-sabotage, then getting unstuck.

If you’re not a big reader, this gets the basics across clearly and efficiently. You might also find help in his podcast iProcrastinate, or the deep dive on procrastination he did with Ali Abdaal.
