Is that best done tomorrow…..or today? Can you give me one compelling reason—a value added, if you will—why that task is better left for tomorrow rather than just doing it today and getting it out of the way? In the absence of a good reason, I can surely give you one supporting the assertion that it is better to do the task right away rather than procrastinating it to another day (And let’s face the bold truth here: If you are procrastinating the task in question to tomorrow, then you almost certainly will not do it tomorrow either and will invent come corny reason why it should be done the day after that or the day after that or the day after that, etc., etc. etc., ad infinitum And what might that reason be? Simple. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, whereas the moment directly in front of you is. Truth is, that is the ONLY piece of temporal real estate that you exercise any degree of control over; all the rest is quicksand that can pull you under at any second. Having said all this, I know you will put off doing that chore regardless. Why? Because just like liars lie and cheaters cheat and lovers love, procrastinators procrastinate until all their life choices suddenly pass out of their hands sans advance warning, at which point they can relax and no longer have to feel residual guilt over a job not well done for the simple reason it was never started, let alone completed.
