The devil's number one strategy to get you to fail is for you to procrastinate.

What the fool does in the end, the wise man does in the beginning.
Remember, prolonged idleness paralyzes initiative.

"There are those of us who are always about to live.
We're waiting until things change,
until there is more time,
until we are less tired,
until we get a promotion,
until we settle down
--until, until, until.
It always seems that there is some major event
that must occur in our lives before we begin living"
George Sheehan

One of these days is really none of these days.
The person who desires, but doesn't act, breeds stagnation.

About the only thing that comes to him who waits is old age.
You can't build your reputation on what you're going to do tomorrow.
Do today what you want to postpone until tomorrow.
Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging-on of an uncompleted task.

When you run in place everyone will pass you by.

"Do not allow idleness to deceive you;
for while you give him today,
he steals tomorrow from you"
H. Crowquill

There is danger in delay for
it is always better to reap two days too soon than one day too late.

Pity the man who waits until the last day.

If possible, make the decision now,
even if the action is in the future.
A reviewed decision is usually better than one reached at the last moment.

He who fiddles around seldom gets to lead the orchestra.

-John Mason, from the book Let Go of Whatever Makes You Stop
