Do it, do it, do it.

I can't focus.

Stop and just get it done

Today is just tomorrow plus time.

Really?

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Come on now, you know that doesn’t apply to this situation.

Tomorrow is just today plus time.

I really can’t believe you.

Options. The problem is too many options.

No. The problem is too many choices.
