Procrastination and Science 
Any chance for those of us who didn’t read and apply concepts from your book in time to earn the prerequisite GPA being allowed into the program?
P.S. I’ve had The Procrastination Equation checked out of my local library for 6 weeks past the 2 automatic renewal periods, but opened and started reading it today. I may need to turn it in and check it out again to avoid the fines costing more than the book itself!
Usually they allow one PhD student for my entire department per year and we have to compete to see who gets it.
I’ll get back to you. Soon. I promise.
