“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”
— Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we delay or procrastinate on tasks, thinking that we can just do them later with the same results. Instead of doing something today, we often convince ourselves it can wait until tomorrow, or even later. This thinking can make us feel less stressed in the moment, but often leads to more stress and a pile-up of things to do later. Imagine a student who gets an assignment but keeps pushing it off. Each day, they tell themselves they'll start tomorrow. In the end, the student might rush through it, possibly making mistakes because they didn't start earlier. By putting things off repeatedly, we often end up with more pressure and less time to do things well. To avoid this stress, it's better to tackle tasks in a timely manner.
