Procrastination in REI

[Travis H.]

My girlfriend and I were talking about this this morning. She works at a children's clothing store. Today is the first Saturday before Easter, and she pointed out that far too many shoppers wait until the last minute to buy things like Easter clothes only to find out that most stores are out of stock. 

It got me thinking: 

I see that sort of thing happen with my own students. In fact, from my limited observation, procrastination seems to be fairly ubiquitous in our society. 

Do you ever wonder if it's not fear but simple procrastination that sinks some investors? More importantly, do any of you have any tips to beat the procrastination urge?
