Fix your finances now: "Fight procrastination!"
If you're like me, you often delay important tasks in your personal finances (portfolio rebalancing anyone? :-)
Dave Cheong has an excellent detailed post on fighting procrastination. Here's a sample of what he says:
- Pace yourself: Don’t go our strong only to burn out before you get to the finish line. Pace yourself. Break the problem down into smaller chunks and tackle each in turn. You may also apply other great problem solving nuggets.
- Stay motivated: Big and important tasks often require hard work and dedication. Often it’s not a sprint but more of a marathon. Keep yourself motivated with appropriate rewards at key milestones and work within the 10R Success framework.
- Do it now: Don’t let the Broken Windows Theory eventuate. Take on problems early and often, before they get too big and too hard to overcome.
