I think a better resource on the topic is Dan Ariely, his 4 minute video on the topic at http://bigthink.com/ideas/dan-ariely-how-can-people-overcome-procrastination http://bigthink.com/ideas/dan-ariely-how-can-people-overcome..., and his book Predictably Irrational (http://www.amazon.com/Predictably-Irrational-Hidden-Forces-Decisions/dp/006135323X http://www.amazon.com/Predictably-Irrational-Hidden-Forces-D... - specifically chapter 6). If you're able to take the time to watch the brief video, you'll more than likely buy the book - its amazingly insightful * incredibly useful even to coders. obligatory joke about procrastination, mild chuckles all around
