A: Yes. Its on sale (or should be shortly) in the Kindle Store for $7.99, but that only includes the ebook,! not the interviews.

Q: How long is this book?
A: Its short purposefully so. I didnt want anyone to put off reading the book, so I kept it very concise. The PDF version is just 65 (short) pages. You wont have trouble getting to the meat of the book, or getting to the end of it.

Q: I just bought your other book, Focus. How different are the two books?
A: There is definitely a fair amount of overlap. They cover similar methods for clearing distractions and single-tasking, and of course have the same philosophy. This book is aimed at people who are specifically looking for answers to the problem of procrastination, and is shorter, has fewer of the bonus resources, and is much cheaper. Focus is a broader manifesto looking at the problem of distraction in our modern lives, and how to solve that.

Q: Is there an affiliate program for the ebook?
A: No.
