An Interesting Look at Procrastination

I found this article useful (Breaking the Perfection Habit). The idea is that perfection gets in the way of starting and accomplishing tasks. The worry someone has about getting something exactly right prevents them from starting tasks. This could be something that can be applied to retirement savings. The questions I seem to read are people asking where and why they should put money in a certain place. Maybe if we were a little less worried about getting our savings in the perfect place to get the best possible return, we might see that just having savings in some vessel might be better than waiting until we feel we have the perfect vessel to put our money in.
