I sometimes use: Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow?



I remember I really liked this one as a kid, and of course its corollary "don't put off until tomorrow what can be put off until the day after". And I still use this as part of my prioritisation - if something is not at all time sensitive, either act on it now, or let it go. Snoozing this stuff doesn't really help; if it's valuable it'll come back to your mind on its own.


What is today but yesterday's tomorrow?
