The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
OK, so this is not exactly a procrastination book lol. It is a children's fable, recommended for 9-12 year olds, so perfect for my level of maturity. If you've never read it, or even if you read it as a child, I highly recommend it. It's quite entertaining and thought provoking. 10-year Milo goes on a quest to save the Princesses Rhyme and Reason. On the way he is distracted by all kinds of monsters, of which these are my favorites:
The Terrible Trivium, demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs, ogre of wasted effort, and monster of habit.
The Horrible Hopping Hindsight, a most unpleasant fellow whose eyes were in the rear and whose rear was out in front.

Synchronicity!
Can't believe the coincidence. I got this book out of my shelf only a few days ago (it had sat there idly for several years) because somehow I remembered the part about the Terrible Trivium and thought it might be relevant. And it was! lol.
One of my favourites as a child (I must be a similar age to you, Jo) and my children also enjoyed it.
So comes with high recommendation from me too!
definitely a coinkydink!
