Unclutterer: The book defines procrastination as “the purposive delay of the starting or completing a task to the point of subjective discomfort.” More simply, procrastinators voluntarily do not work on important tasks and feel bad or uncomfortable about their delays because they know that this course of action will have negative effects in the future.

I used to be a huge procrastinator; in a way I still am, but to a much lesser degree. Books like these that analyze the causes and symptoms of procrastination and provide answers and solutions are useful, but in the end you're the one working to get rid of the habit. There's no miracle solution, and you need a good deal of work and motivation to beat procrastination. I was able to do it because getting my work done ahead makes me feel proud of myself for being so diligent, so that finishing the work is a reward in and of itself.
