Is Now Better Than Then?

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.
