Procrastinating Much?

Getting Things Done... Eventually

The boot of shame. The parcel that missed its return deadline. The email sitting in drafts. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome. This book is full of everyday moments, good intentions, and the occasional triumph. Some of us have been meaning to do something about procrastination for years… we just haven’t quite got around to it.

Progress matters more than perfection — but first, you have to actually start.

Not a psychology textbook. A confession from a fellow procrastinator.

Written from the inside out — by someone who has stared at an unopened parcel for three weeks, added the same task to tomorrow's to-do list nine times, and opened a document, stared at it, closed it, and called it progress.

Procrastinating Much? covers the everyday procrastination we all do but rarely talk about. No clinical theories. No shame. Just sixteen relatable chapters, a bit of laughter, and a gentle nudge to get started.

Because the aim isn't to become someone who never procrastinates. It's to get there eventually — and feel a little less alone on the way.

"We don't procrastinate because we're lazy. We procrastinate because it feels safer than starting."

"The boot of shame is not a character flaw. It's a rite of passage."

"Opening a task, staring at it, closing it — that counts as progress. Sort of."

A few things to take with you

A little recognition, a little laughter, and room to move forward at your own pace.

A little laughter at life’s familiar moments

From unfinished tasks to good intentions that somehow never become actions, discover the funny side of everyday procrastination.

The reassurance that you’re not alone

Recognise yourself in relatable stories about putting things off, making excuses and promising that tomorrow will definitely be different.

A chance to understand your own habits

Explore the thoughts, feelings and everyday distractions that can keep us from getting started, without judgement or pressure.

Time to pause and reflect

Each chapter includes Prompts & Reflections, giving you space to consider your experiences and what might help you move forward.

Encouragement to take your own small steps

Not a promise to transform your life overnight, but a gentle reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to count.

Sixteen chapters. All guilty as charged.

Each chapter ends with prompts and a reflections page — space to think, smile, and gently move forward.

If any of these sound familiar — yes, it is.

You have something still in its box from months ago

You've copied the same task to tomorrow's list more than three times

You have unopened emails you're avoiding in your drafts folder

There's a parcel somewhere that missed its return window

You've "opened a task" and immediately closed it, calling it progress

You have a dream you've been putting off for longer than you'd like to admit

A Little Note from Tee Sterling

I wrote Procrastinating Much? because I know how easy it is to put things off, even the things that matter to us.

This book isn’t about becoming the perfect, organised person who gets everything done. It’s about recognising ourselves in those everyday moments, having a laugh along the way, and perhaps finding the courage to take that next small step.

From one procrastinator to another, I get it.

With warmth, Tee Sterling 🩷

I’ll Read It Tomorrow… Probably.

Sixteen relatable chapters, gentle reflections and plenty of moments that might feel suspiciously familiar.
