So I'm sitting at work, being depressed by my crushing workload, and procrastinating, when I flipped over to WWdN and read his blurb about Steel's Formula.
Steel's formula, called the Temporal Motivation Theory, calculates procrastination like Albert Einstein's equation for energy, E=MC2. It factors the person's expectancy for succeeding at a given task (E) or self-confidence; the value of completing the task (V); its immediacy or availability (Gamma); and the person's sensitivity to delay (D) to come up with the desirability of the task (Utility).
The equation reads: Utility = E x V / (Gamma) x D.
Too bad there's not much there on conquering it. I keep meaning to buy a book or something, I swear.
