"I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours" said a wise man in Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat .
Turns out University of Calgary professor Piers Steel has developed Steel's formula, called the Temporal Motivation Theory, which 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). And voila!

Utility = E x V / (Gamma) x D
Now let's see where was I....ah...working...or was I?(Via this)
