This eBook probably caught my eye only because I had been in conversation with a procrastinator that morning. He was fully aware that he wastes his time and that of other, by not âgetting around toâ do what has to be done.
This book is slim, so there is would be little excuse for him not âgetting aroundâ to reading it, or not finishing it, on the grounds of its length.

âLaziness and procrastination are part of all humanity,â says Carter, and âeven successful people procrastinate at times.â
Laziness and procrastination are an unwillingness to accomplish a task despite having the ability to do it. There are many causes for laziness and procrastination. They range from perfectionism, to low self-esteem and to fear of failure.
Newtonâs law of inertia (loosely understood, ) applies to conquering procrastination, Carter explains. The law states that a body at rest will remain as is, unless some force acts on it. Once one applies force, it will continue to go in that direction, unless another force stops it.
Many different forces can spur the procrastinator to action. Some say that they perform better under pressure. Even where this is a disguised excuse for inaction, it can be useful. Deadlines can be self-imposed as well as imposed from the outside. Establishing a deadline for yourself â this needs to be complete this morning or I will be encroaching on my leisure time this evening â can have the desired effect.
Then reward yourself for the accomplishment creating a connection between completion and reward.
Perfectionism, a common cause of inactivity, is a cognitive error and often leads to procrastination. The desire to do superb work is an admirable quality, but trying to accomplish a task perfectly the first time is rarely possible. Perfectionists postpone doing the work to avoid the frustration of not doing it perfectly the first time.
The cure for perfectionism, Carter suggests, lies in taking the focus off the quality of your initial output. When writing a business report or a newspaper column, the challenge is to accept that there are two phases â creating and editing. First, create the imperfect, then you edit.
Laziness and procrastination are defensive mechanisms that can be masks for fear of failure, Carter suggests. This too can be âcuredâ by remembering that the great successes of all time failed many times before achieving success.
