About this quote

Delay does more than move work; it can close time-sensitive opportunities before a student acts.

When to use it

• At the start of today’s work, start the application, email, or assignment whose deadline creates the greatest opportunity.
• Use the same principle on one difficult subject: start the application, email, or assignment whose deadline creates the greatest opportunity, then note what changed.
• Try it with a classmate or study group: start the application, email, or assignment whose deadline creates the greatest opportunity, and compare the result at the end of the week.
