Procrastinate

I have touched upon procrastination a little in the past. Today I found out that there is a formula that explains the psychology of motivation and procrastination [^].

In other words, if a we have a reasonable sense that something is achievable (expectancy), the pay-off is going to be high (value), the activity was planned (not impulsive) and the timeframe is short (low delay) then motivation should be high. As soon as any of these factors start to move then the motivation and chance of procrastination will also change. Any one of these factors can have a big impact on the way that someone reacts to the task.

After getting a few post out in what passes for quick succession, Pope Francis Says Relax [^] and Do Something [^], I found this lovely quote about procrastination.

You hold a doctorate in procrastination, even though you never got around to writing the dissertation.
Chris Guillebeau [^]

After saying “Do Something, Do Anything” what did I do – I just sat on it.
