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.©2025 Simon May

Recensies van critici
Excellent - thought-provoking, high-end philosophical self-help of the Oliver Burkeman kind, and part of a much-needed revival of practical philosophy, by which I mean philosophy that dares to address the questions of how we can live good lives . . . Ingenious reframings are the author's forte (TLS)
A thoughtful salvo in the war on procrastination . . . May is a great guide to all this thinking and practical advice. He ends by arguing counter-intuitively for the benefits of procrastination. It's compelling, and could change your life. If y'know, you get around to it (London Standard)
A wise and good-humoured approach to a universal problem. May wears his learning lightly, but reading the book leaves you in no doubt that you have been pleasingly in touch with high intelligence (The Spectator, Books of the Year)
