Are you someone who likes to put off until tomorrow what you could do today? Do you draw up to do lists, only to get frustrated that you aren't able to follow them through? This delightful book argues that procrastinators are often perfectionists and structured procrastinating, doing one thing as a way of not doing something else, is sometimes extremely effective. And if you're still stuck with that list of things to do, here is advice on how to tweak it so that it becomes more manageable: put something daunting, like 'Learn Chinese' or 'Renovate kitchen' at the top, cleaning the house or doing the laundry is a great way to not do those things. Written with wry humor and peppered with a wealth of insights, Don’t Buy This Book Now!: The Art of Procrastination proposes an ingenious program for getting things done by putting them off. It's a must read for anyone who has ever accused themselves of being a slacker.
