poetry, psychology and economics

"Had I been less definitely determined to start working, I might have made an effort to begin right away. But because my resolve was absolute and, within twenty-four hours, in the empty frames of the next day where everything fit so well since I was not yet there, my good resolutions would easily be accomplished, it was better not to choose an evening where I was ill disposed for a beginning to which, alas! the following days would turn out to be no more propitious."

that's proust on procrastination through tirole on a self-confidence model. sometimes only a long sentence can express things accurately.
