You Don’t Have to be Naked to Stop Procrastinating!

The famous French novelist, Victor Hugo, was so prone to procrastination he stripped off all his clothes and made his servant hide them so he couldn’t leave the house until he was finished writing. It’s hard to know whether The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Les Miserables would have been written if Hugo had access to the internet, but procrastination is something we all have to deal with.

Perhaps the main reason why people procrastinate is fear. Hugo may have been afraid that he was going to write junk, or his plot wouldn’t make sense or that his next book wouldn’t resonate with readers like the last.

When it comes to thinking about our financial futures, other fears come into play.

While many people understand the benefit of owning an investment property, they still procrastinate. Like Hugo they might be asking themselves, “What if I get it wrong?” They might be daunted about the complexity of investing, or the paperwork involved. They might worry that a long-term investment could affect their flexibility in life.

But if you’re going to ask yourself these questions, then you should also be asking yourself the question, “What will happen if I continue to do nothing?”
Then you can get more specific by imagining what it would be like to live on $21, 000 year, which is what 80% of Australian retirees do.

That’s the thing about procrastination. There’s more to be afraid of if you don’t do something.  Which is why Victor Hugo went to such extraordinary lengths to make himself pick up the pen and write. We don’t recommend such extreme strategies to avoid procrastination, but if you want a stronger financial future why not pick up the phone NOW and call Pfeiffer Property today.
