Not Your Typical Productivity Book — Because Why Start Now?

In a world overflowing with productivity systems, morning routines, and color-coded calendars, Chris Abdey offers something radically different—and refreshingly honest. His new book, The Art of Putting Things Off: 10 Steps to Becoming a Procrastination Pro, is a hilarious, intentionally blank satire that gives professional procrastinators a reason to laugh at the very thing they’ve been avoiding: starting.

Yes, you read that right—this book is largely blank.

It’s not a formatting error. It’s the point.

A Book That Does Less (So You Might Finally Do More)

“This book is a gentle nudge—or an ironic shove—for anyone who’s spent hours watching DIY videos they’ll never follow or reading every term and condition document just to avoid starting their dream project,” says Abdey. “It’s the anti-productivity book for people who already know what they should be doing… they just haven’t gotten around to it.”

Each page delivers a wink to the reader, from footnotes about future-you side-eyeing your choices to tongue-in-cheek excuses like “If I wait long enough, someone else might do it.” The result? A tangible piece of humor, insight, and self-awareness that sits on your desk until you’re ready to get up and do something.

Who It’s (Not) For

This isn’t a book filled with time-blocking techniques or rigid habit trackers. It’s for the chronic planners who never execute, the dreamers who collect notebooks, and the perfectionists waiting for the “right time.”

• Entrepreneurs who overthink more than they build

• Busy parents who feel like everyone else’s needs come first

• High-functioning professionals who can’t start the “thing” that matters most

• Anyone who needs a reminder that starting doesn’t require a ceremony—just one tiny step

Why It Works (Even Though It’s Blank)

The genius of The Art of Putting Things Off is that it gives procrastinators a mirror—one they’ll actually pick up. Instead of shaming readers into productivity, Chris Abdey uses humor to help them see their own avoidance patterns with compassion and curiosity. And that’s where the magic happens.

“As a former corporate project manager and self-proclaimed master procrastinator, I know how clever we get when we’re avoiding something meaningful,” Abdey says. “Sometimes, the best intervention isn’t another framework—it’s a joke that lands a little too hard.”
