I like a lot of Mr Fishbein’s intelligent stuff, but I’m not crazy about this. It seems more likely to me that people’s problems with procrastination won’t be with what they need to do (like a debt repayment or whatever), but with life-enhancing stuff that they want to do or feel they ought to do. For example, “I ought to do some exercises today, but I don’t need to, so I’ll put that off and do something else” — so this ancient-algorithm idea doesn’t seem to help with that kind of thing. Unless there’s something here I’m not thinking through properly?
