Canadian scholar Pierce. Piers Steel, who has established a foundation in the field of procrastination research, proposed a formula in the book "The Procrastination equation", which specifically describes the main causes of procrastination:

U=EV/ID

U(work efficiency) = E(expected value of success) V(work gain)/ I (distraction degree) D (degree of procrastination)

Obviously, the size of the distraction directly affects the level of work efficiency, and the two are inversely related. The greater the distraction, the lower the work efficiency. Procrastinators always think that time passes quickly and complain that time is not useful. In fact, most of them fall into distracting problems.
