I think it would make sense if the units of Impulsiveness are 1/time?
For a rational agent, motivation = utils. Affliction with impulsiveness (by which we here mean "not delaying gratification") requires motivation = utils / R where R increases with the amount of delay. Setting R to a 1/time impulsiveness constant multiplied by delay does accomplish this.
The same way that Hertz are cycles / second, Impulsiveness is "motivation-drop" / second.
