A lady came into my bookstore the other night, to buy The Procrastinator's Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now.
Don't get me wrong; I admire her for trying to correct her flaws. But this particular flaw begs the following questions: if her problem is really so bad that she needs to buy a book to tell her how to fix it, will she actually read the book? And even if she does, will she implement its suggestions?
And only tangentially, I wonder how long she was thinking about buying a book about procrastination before she actually did it.
You're funny. I bet she's like us in that she buys books that then sit on the shelf for years. Really, we are no different than she is, we just accept our problems.
