Stop Starting, Start Finishing: The Hilarious, No-Fluff Guide for Procrastinators Who Are Tired of Their Own Excuses

Are you a professional procrastinator, part-time excuse generator, or full-time dream abandoner?

Do you proudly collect half-finished projects, color-coded planners, and unopened Google Docs?
Congratulations—you’ve just found your people.

Don’t Finish What You Start is the brutally hilarious, painfully accurate, and weirdly motivational survival guide for anyone who’s made procrastination an extreme sport. This is not your usual self-help fluff. It’s a satirical slap in the face with a velvet glove.

If you’ve ever bought books like Atomic Habits by James Clear (but didn’t finish them), scribbled big goals after reading The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins (but hit snooze instead), or binge-watched productivity YouTubers after reading half of Finish by Jon Acuff—this book was written for you.

Inside, you’ll laugh (and cringe) your way through:
✅ Why making to-do lists feels like finishing (until it doesn’t)
✅ How Netflix and naps stole your dreams and called it "self-care"
✅ The cult of planning: where color-coded notebooks go to die
✅ Why your brain thinks emailing yourself is real productivity
✅ The terrifyingly addictive thrill of actually finishing something

Perfect for fans of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson and Make Your Bed by Admiral William H. McRaven (you know, the books you planned to finish last summer), this is your wake-up call disguised as comedy.

You'll get:

  • Gut-busting truth bombs

  • Anti-procrastination hacks that don’t require a PhD

  • Permission to start small, finish messy, and celebrate opening the doc like you won gold

It’s time to stop living on the starting line.
Let’s cross something off—even if it’s just reading this book.

Start. Finish. Laugh. Repeat.
(Don’t worry, I’ll keep it short. I know your attention span is on a timer.)
