MAY SIMON JUMP!

Do you repeatedly defer life to later  convinced there will come a time when you'll be better
prepared to seize its opportunities?  Do you spend your best hours on chores or trivia before
allowing yourself to get to what most matters to you?   The real mystery of procrastination is
why we avoid goals to which we're passionately committed. It's understandable that we'd put off
cleaning the fridge or completing our tax return  but why do we swerve a loved one  a vocation
a hobby  or a new life that feels supremely meaningful to us?  Simon May argues that the almost
universal consensus around overcoming procrastination - setting priorities and optimizing time
management: working "smarter not harder" - might work for the boring things but is of little
use when it comes to treasured goals that we're avoiding.   Jump! proposes seven radically new
ways in which we can overcome this life-sabotaging procrastination. May claims that  for all
their pain  the regret and boredom created by procrastination can shine the brightest light on
our top priorities  either reaffirming our commitment to them or teaching us that we're on the
wrong path. This is the unexpected blessing of procrastination: that it offers hope of becoming
ourselves.
