Steel's Procrastination Equation

Steel's Procrastination Equation describes the tendency to delay tasks. It suggests that procrastination occurs when the task's value isn't clear or when there's a high level of anxiety associated with it. The equation involves factors like the importance of the task, the delay until the deadline, and the person's own self-control. Essentially, if the task seems too difficult, boring, or stressful, we're more likely to put it off. Understanding this can help individuals identify their procrastination triggers and develop strategies to stay focused and motivated.
