The Procrastination Equation: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done by Piers Steel is a research-backed self-help book that explains why people procrastinate and how they can overcome it using insights from psychology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience. Blending scientific evidence with practical advice, Steel presents a clear framework for understanding the habits that keep us from taking action.

At the heart of the book is the Procrastination Equation, a simple model that explains how motivation is influenced by expectancy, value, impulsiveness, and delay.
