Get Up! Do Something: 23 Procrastination Quotes To Push You into action

You know you need to challenge yourself and do something. Maybe adopt a new strategy or finally getting that task done that's absolutely necessary to move forward, but somehow you just can't bring yourself to doing it.

Maybe there's little or no stimulation or motivation and so you feel it may not be the right time and that you should keep it for some other times.
