In this book, Dr. Linda Sapadin includes a short quiz so readers can determine which type of procrastinators they might be out of six categories (Perfectionist, Dreamer, Worrier, Crisis-Maker, Defier, and Pleaser). Each chapter covers one of the types with "case-studies" and suggestions for improvements and new ways of thinking that are useful. The writing is clear, offers insight, and is a relatively quick read. I've used some of the information here in a class I teach for writers who procrastinate and it's been helpful.
The only problem with the book that I see is that with the title, I assumed when I bought it that there would be special information focusing on how our digital lives encourage distraction/procrastination from the things that really matter to us (work, family, self-care passion, etc.), but that element never really materializes in a meaningful way. If this book had a different title, it would have been 5 stars in terms of being what I expected and being a good bled of study of procrastination and potential solutions. But with that "digital age" this raised expectations that the book would be more specialized.
If you aren't hoping for info on how to focus on what matters to you instead of checking your Instagram account for the 75th time of the day, then this is a very good book about ways to combat procrastination.

Wow! What a great book!!! A must read for every college student, particularly any with procrastinating tendencies. I am typically not a self help reader, but this incredibly readable book breaks down different types of procrastination and addresses practical solutions to each. It is motivating, at times funny, but always with tangible, clear and concise action strategies/recommendations. Should be all college students go to guide, as well as leaving it close by for reminders.
