Produktbeschreibung

The Procrastination Equation "The Procrastination Equation" by Piers Steel, PhD, provides a comprehensive look into the psychology of procrastination, exploring its causes, effects, and strategies for overcoming it. Central to Steel's thesis is the Procrastination Equation itself: Motivation = (Expectancy x Value) / (Impulsiveness x Delay), which serves as a framework for understanding why we procrastinate and how we can counteract it. Steel delves into the biological and psychological factors contributing to procrastination, noting that it often arises from a battle between different parts of the brain: the limbic system, which seeks immediate gratification, and the prefrontal cortex, responsible for planning and delaying gratification. Modern life, with its myriad of distractions, significantly exacerbates our propensity to procrastinate. The availability of instant rewards from activities like browsing social media or playing video games makes delaying work even more appealing. The cost of procrastination is not just emotional or psychological; it has tangible impacts on one's health, relationships, and financial stability.
