My Grandma always said, "why put off till tomorrow, what you can get done today" and "you'll never regret getting a chore done early", although I told her once when I was little that wasnt' really true, cuz' once mom figured out I could do it, then I'd have to do it again, and then I'd regret it. I still remember her laughing about it.
Another quote from an old friend "getting started is half the job"
