Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Life becomes complicated when you realize that the motivation to start or delay a task is a tug-of-war between positive and negative emotions.
