The Procrastination Cure

Procrastination is not a willpower problem. It is a wiring problem. This is the book that finally tells you the difference.

The Procrastination Cure is a practical, research-grounded guide for high-functioning adults who keep delivering and keep feeling like they are dragging themselves over the line. Kimberly Burk Cordova breaks down why your usual strategies (lists, alarms, accountability partners, more discipline) keep losing to the same patterns, and what to do instead.

This is not a productivity manifesto. It is a clear, honest look at the small wiring choices that compound into the cure. Written for the person who is tired of the cycle but not interested in another guru promising "easy."

What makes this book different

Written by an entrepreneur and leadership operator who ran the experiment on herself, her teams, and her clients. No motivational filler. No five-step framework dressed up as wisdom. The Procrastination Cure treats you like an adult who is capable of installing better systems once someone shows you the actual leverage points.

Inside the book

Plain-language explanation of what procrastination actually is. The "small wiring" model with practical, repeatable interventions. Worksheets and prompts at the end of each section. Chapter summaries for fast re-reads. Tested against real entrepreneur and executive workflows, not theory.

Best for

Entrepreneurs. Leaders running on too many tabs open. High-performing professionals who finish things, just always at the last possible moment. Anyone whose to-do list has been "the same five items" for three weeks. Coaches and consultants who want a resource to recommend that respects their clients.
