Put procrastination on the run

OK, so its not by a woman, but it is on of my Mum's favorite poems, so I've shared it here. You've likely heard a few of the lines, but I think its best to read things as the author intended.

Lose this day loitering, ‘twill be the same story
Tomorrow, and the next more dilatory.

Each day’s indecision brings its own delays
And days are lost lamenting o’er lost days.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Only begin it, and then the mind grows heated.
Begin it, and then, the work will be completed!

by German poet-philosopher, Johann von Goethe
