Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
When facing tasks or responsibilities
Understanding the Rule
Complete tasks promptly rather than procrastinating. Delays make tasks harder, create stress, and accumulate into overwhelming backlogs. Immediate action prevents problems.
What Happens When You Break It
Procrastination creates stress, missed deadlines, lost opportunities, overwhelming backlogs, poor quality rushed work, damaged reputation, and preventable failures.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Prompt action reduces stress, maintains control, produces better work, captures opportunities, builds reputation for reliability, and creates momentum.
