Soon is not as good as now.

别谈未来，现在就行动。

From Seth Godin.

I always told myself that I should finish what I should do as soon as possible, but the ending might be always the same:

The things were finished just before the deadlines with poor quality.

And I think I could make them better if I hadn't wasted my time and if I had prepared for them early.

Just a hopelss idiot.

I really want to know how to beat my procrastination and push myself a little harder to get what needs to be done done before the deadline.

Set a timer, set some standards, and act now.

Be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

做真实的自己，一切都会好起来的。

Be true to ourselves and try our best to avoid bringing an unhappy ending to the things we had kicked off before, only in such way we can avoid letting ourselves be pressured into overscheduling our time and taking on too much stress.

As Beastie Boys wrote in the book, 'Pass the Mic':

Be true to yourself and you will never fall.

How to understand this? Maybe it can be interpreted as some kind of strengthes from our innerself that can change our life: integrity, beliefs, personal values, honesty, sincerity, unwavering principles, being complete, authentic, living by what is acceptable to us, and so on.

In a word, these things may provide us with some positive, healthy, strong, peaceful and happy feelings.

So it is a good thing and it is important to be true to ourselves.

But how? In my opinion, we can start it with knowing who we are and accept ourselves.

Knowing our strengths, passions, limitations and purpose in life and then living that way all the time.

We come to know who we are by living life and we can find out what works for us, what defines us and what makes us whole.

Just try to live every minute of life meaningfully, make every minute of life counts.
