When you ignore a small tear on a clothes, it will continue to grow into a bigger tear, that you could amend when it was just a small tear. Why waiting for when the time is pressing before you could respond to the need and do what you are supposed to do? Must it be urgent before you can know that you are supposed to do these things? Planning ahead of time is very important and responding to things. Some of the problems we face today can easily be solved sometime ago when they were still a little problem, but we ignore them without paying attention or trying to solve them when they were still coming up, today they are a major problem to us.
Dealing with things at the early stage or in initial point where it happens is very important. Bigger problems today I believe they started from smaller part of it. Why do you prefer to leave them to the grow to become bigger and more large that we cannot manage, before we could try to pay attention to them. There is a popular saying which is, "A Stitch In Time Saves Nine". When I heard about this proverb the first time, it was not clear to me, it was so difficult for me to decode the meaning of the proverb, then I have to translate a to my local dialect. Then it was obvious to me that the meaning of this adage or proverb is about doing things on time and when they are still small, attending to matters at the earlier stage.
It has a way to speak against Procrastination and Poor Timing. These two things work in hand in hand and if you don't start on time to plan towards these, you end up procrastinating issues, matters and sometime personal goal that you set. Now when after procrastination, poor time management will come in. When your timing will be poor and you keep procrastinating things. There is always the problem or a consequence that comes with it. One thing in life is that you have to work on anything you have to do early, for you to get a done on time. It also remind me of an adage or a proverb, which states "Early to bed, Early to Rise" this always remind me of how timing is important. The earlier you start to do something, the faster and earlier you get it done. Don't wait till the dieing minutes...
Always Remember, A Stitch In Time Saves Nine.
