  1. Procrastination is a prevalent and pernicious form of self-regulatory failure that is not entirely understood. Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical, and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination’s possible causes and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection. Strong and consistent predictors of procrastination were task aversiveness, task delay, self-efficacy, and impulsiveness, as well as conscientiousness and its facets of self-control, distractibility, organization, and achievement motivation. These effects prove consistent with temporal motivation theory, an integrative hybrid of expectancy theory and hyperbolic discounting. Continued research into procrastination should not be delayed, especially because its prevalence appears to be growing.

  9. Fans have always spread the word about their favourite music – now they spread the music, too. And despite gloomy predictions of the death of pop writing in an MP3 age, the word still matters: since attention is scarce, the fan’s passion and knowledge will always be crucial. Even so, it’s heartening that over the last couple of years a second strain of music blogging has thrived – where sharing music isn’t as important as sharing stories.

    The facilitator for this has been blogging platform and social network Tumblr – beloved of teens, media outlets and smut peddlers for its easy image-posting and rapid turnover of content. Tumblr has its share of MP3 blogs but it’s also home to some of today’s most original, personal and funniest music-writing.

    —Quote from the UK Guardian piece, “Why blogging strikes a chord on Tumblr”, on why Tumblr is a great platform for music, with some examples.
