If you ask me what are the things that people should not do no matter how, the first thing that comes to my mind will be to postpone¹ today's business to tomorrow.

If you feel the urge to do a thing, that means there is a certain reason for you to do it today. Though maybe you still don't know what the reason is.

If you don't take the chance to settle what should be settle today while there is still time, sooner or latter you will find there to be no time for you to settle what you really want to settle.
