There are a million cliches. Sore today, or sorry tomorrow. You get two choices: the pain of disciplined focused work now, or the pain of regret later. The pain of regret sinks deep within you and never leaves. The pain of discipline converts to euphoria when you achieve your goal.
For some reason, it’s so much easier to pretend like there is no satisfaction associated with that pain of self-discipline and that you’ll escape that pain of regret this time you procrastinate.
The choice is yours to make. Sore today, or sorry tomorrow.
