Very nice review here. Any better and I would say you needn’t bother buying the book. About the equation, it is indeed a simplification of the full model—trying to balance completeness with making sure it is understandable. As the book (and for those super keen, Temporal Motivation Theory described in my Academy of Management Review article “Integrating Theories of Motivation”), we add a constant in the denomenator to prevent the entire thing sky rocketing to infinity when delay approaches zero (in joke, one of the characters has a kid named Constance in reference to this).
Procrastinus, I think that the main reason that this comment is getting downvoted is because you double-posted. If you delete the parent and I delete this comment, I think it will disappear.
Edit: Forgot to check this and delete it before it got a child. x.X
(if you do not act , another conscientiousnesses being will suffer)
what about people that do not suffer from Procrastination ?
is there research to the opposite kind of person ?
the way fat people look at how naturaly thine eat.
Comments here are threaded—your comment does not appear to be a response to its parent, so I assume you did not notice that. If you want to leave a top-level comment on an article, you can type directly into the box at the top of the article’s ‘comments’ list. If you want to leave a response to a comment, you can click the ‘Reply’ button on the bottom of the comment.
Also note that writing correctly is a big help to readers. When writing in English, you should capitalize the first letter of the sentence (“Do” instead of “do”) and don’t leave a space before the punctuation ending a sentence (“problem?” instead of “problem ?”). (That last rule is probably not very important).
