The Procrastination Equation - a good new book, IMO

[supergtdman]

People aren't afraid of more work exactly... Actually people like to get busy and our society rewards this.

There is no such thing as too much "work" because you do "work" all the time. The real problem is about making decions about what to do and what not to do.

More work means more options and more decisions to make.
People are afraid of change and uncertainty and making decisions and mistakes. Afraid to take initiative or responsibility.
