"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."

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.
