   1. It may be due to a fear of the unknown
   2. Or maybe because of a fear of failure/demotivation
   3. Laziness/lack of positive motivation
2. Indecisiveness is a friend of procrastination
3. Making hasty decisions will kill you

1. Brokers are avoidable middlemen.
2. Everyone in the process has money on their mind.
3. Never take people on their word, unless you’ve had chance to test them before.
4. A good roommate in a crummy room is better than a crummy roommate in a good room. But a good roommate in a good room is best.
   1. Corollary: A random roommate in a good room is a more selling USP than a good roommate in a crummy room.
5. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
6. If at first you don’t succeed, you should learn to pack things both faster and more compactly.
7. Make sure all shiftings are planned about a week in advance and you have a playbook. It helps.
8. Two people during moving > one person.
9. Always have decent transport arranged for at least an hour before departure.
10. A good night’s sleep is both necessary and missing until everything is done.
11. Everything is done only after everything is done.
