You Aren't a Lazy
Piece of Sh!t

From Procrastination to Productivity

The no-nonsense guide to understanding why you procrastinate, what type of procrastinator you are, and — most importantly — what to actually do about it. Practical, honest, occasionally irreverent. Written by someone who lived it.

Paperback Hardcover Kindle

The book that started as a murder mystery
and became something more useful.

Let me ask you something: have you ever looked at a sink full of dishes, thought "I'll get to that later," and then somehow found yourself four hours deep into a Netflix marathon with the sink still full? Welcome to the club. I've been there too.

This book started as a personal challenge — I set out to write a murder mystery with a friend and ended up discovering that I was a textbook Perfectionist Procrastinator. I spent months researching characters, building backstories, and crafting the perfect outline. I wrote almost zero actual pages. My friend finished her book. I pivoted — and wrote about the thing I'd just lived through.

"I wasn't lazy. I was just lost in the sticky trap of procrastination — and I had no idea there was actually a way out. This book is that way out."

You Aren't a Lazy Piece of Sh!t isn't about shaming you for procrastinating or telling you to "just do it." It's about understanding the specific pattern that's keeping you stuck — and giving you the right tools for your type. Because the strategies that work for a Perfectionist are completely different from the ones that work for a Distracted procrastinator. One size does not fit all.

If any of these sound familiar,
this book is for you.

The Sunday Night Dreader Every weekend ends the same way — that gnawing feeling that you didn't do the things you meant to do.
The Chronic Starter You begin projects with enthusiasm, then lose momentum before the finish line. Your hard drive is full of 80% done things.
The Busy-But-Stuck Person You're working constantly but somehow not making progress on the things that actually matter to you.
The "I Work Better Under Pressure" Person You do — but the chronic stress of always being last-minute is starting to catch up with you.
The Overwhelmed One Your to-do list has become a source of anxiety rather than a tool. You don't know where to start, so you don't.
Anyone Who's Ever Said "I'll Start Monday" Monday keeps moving. This book helps you start today instead.
