Authors trace the underpinnings of the procrastination behavior (understanding) and then proceed to outline a program for dealing with the problem (overcoming). This is a very useful book, specially if one does not wait too long to start reading it. I found the sample project on p.136 and the Weekly Un-Schedule on pp 150-151 very helpful, and to be the most doable of all, along with the techniques for improving one's timing. Part One can be very challenging for the less introspective. Highly recommended to Fellow Procrastinators. (Book's pages are so yellowed, sorry, it took me that long to start reading it.)
