Word of the Day - Procrastinate

How many of us are guilty of this? What is it that wrong with doing it now and to get over and done with it? What are the consequences of not doing it now?

Tomorrow is another day. How many tomorrows do you have left? A man has approximately 29,200 days in the world if he lives to an age of 80. How many days have lived? Are there things that you want to do but have not done so?

I am very guilty of procrastination.
Trying to do it now. Trying doesn't seem to be good enough. Doing it now is.
