"One of the greatest labor-saving inventions of today is tomorrow"

"If you wait until all the lights are "green" before you leave home, you'll never get started on your trip to the top."

"It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the master work. Now, I'm beginning what I could have started ten years ago. But I'm happy at least that I didn't wait twenty years."

"You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
What mood is that? Last-minute panic."

"I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."

"I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do - the day after."

"Procrastination is the thief of time"

- Edward Young

"I spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung"

"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it."

"Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday."

"Begin to weave and God will give the thread"

"If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient."

"If you choose to not deal with an issue,
then you give up your right of control over the issue
and it will select the path of least resistance."

"Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success."

"In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do. The worst thing you can do is nothing."

"If you’re a procrastinator, you will find every excuse not to do what you need to do. Here’s a thought: do it first. I call it reverse procrastination."

"Overcoming procrastination is not, I repeat, not about cramming additional work into your day … overcoming procrastination is about simplifying your life to make space for the activities that matter most."

"Action will destroy your procrastination."

"If you have goals and procrastination you have nothing. If you have goals and you take action, you will have anything you want."

"You may delay, but time will not."

"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."

"A wise person does at once what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times."

"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day."

"The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don’t just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed. Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second we can turn the tables on Resistance. This second, we can sit down and do our work"

"My evil genius 'procrastination' has whispered me to tarry 'til a more convenient season."

"My constant battle is putting aside time wasters, and I have to watch out for procrastination. Staying on the path of something you're trying to create has much to do with having confidence in yourself and in your capacity to realize the things you want out of life."

"I have an advanced degree in procrastination and another one in paranoia."

"I try to procrastinate, if I can, productively, like I'll work on something else as procrastination. Or I take a walk. Because often I find, if you get out, more things come to you."

"Procrastination is the soul rebelling against entrapment."
