The Algebra of Procrastination

Procrastination is a calculation.  It’s a calculation of value.  It goes something like this:

If X=the pain of doing the task;
and Y=the pleasure of having done the work;
Then the task will be done when the value of Y is greater than X.

Put another way, Value=Function/Cost, where Value= the task and Function=Y and Cost=X.

The task of quantifying pleasure and pain will just have to wait.
