Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew the McGivern, and today is September the 6th.
Today, we’re celebrating Fight Procrastination Day, which is perfect for those of us who’ve been saying, “I’ll start tomorrow” – for months. So if you've been procrastinating on finishing that book by your bedside, today's the day for you. Why... because it is National Read a Book Day so there you have it...
Now, for today’s quote, I’ve chosen something that speaks to the spirit of Stop Procrastination Day. It’s a classic from the great Napoleon Hill, who once said:
“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”
That one just makes sence doesn't it? Let’s break it down.
Napoleon Hill’s words are simple but powerful. Most of us spend a lot of time waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment to start something—whether it's launching a project, working out, or even picking up that book you’ve been ‘meaning to read.’ We tell ourselves, “I’ll do it when things calm down,” or, “Once I’m feeling motivated, I’ll get going.” But Hill reminds us that the conditions we’re waiting for may never come.
There’s always going to be an excuse available if you’re looking for one. And that’s what makes Fight Procrastination Day so great—it forces you to drop the excuses, roll up your sleeves, and take action. Even if you’re only making a little progress, it’s better than staying still, waiting for some magical day when everything aligns perfectly. Spoiler alert: that day is never coming.
And if you’re into celebrating National Read a Book Day, maybe that’s your step one! Start with that book that’s been collecting dust for who knows how long. Just open the cover and read a chapter. Procrastination doesn’t stand a chance if you just take that small first step.
And hey... Napolean Hill has some great books you can read, if you haven't already. My favourites are Think and Grow Rich and Interview with the Devil. Classics.
Let’s face it, we all procrastinate. Whether it’s putting off cleaning the garage, writing that paper, or—ironically enough—listening to this podcast. But today’s the day to get out of that cycle. It’s not about waiting for the right moment—it’s about making the moment right by starting now.
So, take Hill’s advice. You’re never going to find the perfect time, and if you keep waiting for it, you might be waiting forever. Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can.
See what I did there... I worked yesterdays quote into our conversation.
So take baby steps...
Little by little, it’ll add up to something much bigger than you thought.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for you today. Whether it’s knocking something off your to-do list or finally diving into that book, don’t wait. The time is now.
