Thomas Jefferson: Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Say YES to the longings of your own heart.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie


First ask why the task is on your to-do list. When possible, discard those items to which you are not truly committed. For the tasks which do speak to the longings of your own heart, begin now, today, this moment.
