“The two rules of procrastination:
1) Do it today.
2) Tomorrow will be today tomorrow.” ~Author Unknown

There are a million and one* quotes on the internet about procrastinating (*this is a non-scientific figure), if not more. There was no time to count them all.

In truth, procrastination seems to be a core part of human nature. Philosophers, authors and other notable figures throughout history have directly addressed it. Benjamin Franklin is rumored to have said: “You may delay, but time will not.”

Admittedly, there’s a lot to do at work and around the house. It takes time to read all those business books. There are CE credits to secure and marketing plans to produce and social media initiatives to undertake.
