Joseph R. Ferrari

3.2/5 ( ratings)

Find out why you put things off-and learn to conquer procrastination for good!

What if I make a bad decision? What if I fail? I'm better under pressure. There are all sorts of reasons people procrastinate. What are yours? This book draws on scientific research on procrastination conducted over more than twenty years by the author and his colleagues, to help you learn what stops you from getting things done so that you can find the solutions that will really work.
