INTRODUCTION
The following book might save your life.
Pretty crazy claim, right?
But hear me out: if you pay close attention to the words you’re about to
read and implement the strategies that I recommend, then this
information could have a major impact on your life. It could help you
prevent personal catastrophe.
How can I say this with 100% certainty?
Well, it relates to a simple word that has hundreds of meanings
(depending on who you talk to).
That word is procrastination.
We all have a basic understanding of what this word means. Look it up in
a
dictionary
and you’ll see a definition like this one from Dictionary.com:
“The act or habit of putting off or delaying, especially something
requiring immediate attention.”
But how we procrastinate and what we procrastinate on differs from
person to person:
A student will procrastinate in school, waiting until the last minute
to study for a test or write a term paper.
A professional will procrastinate on a work-related task because it’s
challenging and requires hard work.
And an athlete might procrastinate on getting an injury checked out
because he or she doesn’t want to miss an important game.
We all have personal reasons for procrastinating. And it’s easy to fall into
the trap of thinking it’s not a big deal. You might even say to yourself:
“It’s just a bad habit that I have, but it’s not that big of a deal.”

The truth is that procrastination can have a serious effect on your life. It
could even create a life-or-death situation. For instance, let’s say you’re
experiencing pain and discomfort in your chest. Nine times out of ten, it
might be nothing. But there’s a small chance that it’s a warning sign of an
impending heart attack.
Unfortunately, some people will ignore (i.e., procrastinate on) a symptom
like this and will die because of their failure to act. If only they had gone
to the doctor the moment they experienced this warning sign, their life
could have been saved.
Don’t believe this happens?
Well, let me tell you a quick story to illustrate this point.
