Of course, if you do it now, it is done, but if you do it then, you will have to wait to do it. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.

On the other hand: Pondering “Now vs. Then” is a battle already lost. “Then” wins when you ponder or prioritize.

At least when you prioritize, instead of pondering a few objectives, get it done first. “Now” is proactive, and a do-it-now attitude is generally considered a positive trait.
