This equation captures the subtleties of procrastination. It proposes that motivation increases when expectancy (our confidence in succeeding) and value (the perceived reward) are high. Conversely, motivation decreases with greater impulsiveness (our tendency to get distracted) and delay (the time before a task’s rewards are realized). Through each chapter, the equation is elaborated upon with empirical studies, anecdotes, and experiments, providing a comprehensive context that helps readers reconcile with their procrastinative tendencies.
