There are many factors in making a decision of any kind, from
   when is the best moment to hit a baseball to when is the best
   time to die.* The one central question that binds them all
   together is this: "For how long should I delay?" Since I neither
   play baseball, nor do I wish to die, my answer right now is, "I
   shall delay for as long as I possibly can until everything is
   "just right".* Since I can't foresee a scenerio with which my
   own dying will be "just right", I'd probably choose to delay for
   several thousand years, should that biological option be given
   to me :P "There is a tendency in our planning to confuse the
   unfamiliar with the improbable.* The contingency we have not
   considered seriously looks strange; what looks strange is
   thought impossible; what is improbable need not be considered
   seriously."* Donald Rumsfeld referred to these as "Unknown
   Unknowns".* [quote is found in "Wait: The Art and Science of
   Delay by Frank Portnoy".* The first two paragraphs are entirely
   my own, but inspired by what I read in there.* "For How Long
   Should I Delay?" is not only the Procrastinator's Question but a
   question all have to deal with, especially when faced with the
   completely unexpected in life... planning for things we never
   could have planned for]
