About this quote

Time treats everyone the same and keeps moving whether you’re ready or not. It can surprise you with consequences for what you delay. Ask yourself what you keep putting off and why. Pick one concrete thing to change today — set a deadline, make a call, or finish the task — so you stop losing ground to passing hours.

When to use it

• After our product launch slipped and the whole team was scrambling, I said to my manager, "What a slut time is. She screws everybody," to point out we all missed our window.
• The night before finals when my roommate panicked about cramming, I reminded them with, "What a slut time is. She screws everybody," and we shut doors and studied on a schedule.
• When my dad delayed that doctor’s visit until it got worse, I told him, "What a slut time is. She screws everybody," to stress that waiting had cost us options.
• After I kept postponing saving, I looked at my partner and said, "What a slut time is. She screws everybody," then we set up an automatic transfer that night.
