“Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.”

December 23, 2021 /

This quote, by William Shakespeare, is from the play, The Merry Wives of Windsor. It’s the antithesis of procrastination because it encourages us to be much earlier than even a minute too late. When we’re too late at something, even if it’s just by a minute, there may be no turning back–depending on what that thing is.

So next time you’re tempted to procrastinate, remember that there can be a sort of permanence to being too late.
