    “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is right now”

    Results that require a long time to from work are ultimate started long before you need the results. However that isn’t always clear at the time back then. Sometimes it is and procrastination means you’re without the results today because you never started and the time has passed anyway. That doesn’t mean that you should simple discard the idea the results were needed for. You can still achieve the results, but delaying the start of the work now is the worst thing you can do. Starting right now is the best choice to move forward to get the results you want.
