Create today as if tomorrow won’t happen!
Tomorrow is never
Procrastinate on stuff you don’t care for, but never procrastinate what you truly love and care for.
Create things you care for. Consider:
If you died today, would you have said everything you wanted to say or do?
One day you might be right (Steve Jobs).
what is your end-game?
Ultimately consider your end-game, and work backwards.
