Procrastination
One of President Spencer W. Kimball's effective encouragements was the succinct 'Do It.' He later expanded this to 'Do It Now' to pointedly teach the need for timeliness. "President Kimball also taught the profound principle that procrastination leads to the loss of exaltation. He said: 'One of the most serious human defects in all ages is procrastination, an unwillingness to accept personal responsibilities now. . . . Many have allowed themselves to be diverted and have become . . . addicts to mental and spiritual indolence and to the pursuit of worldly pleasure' (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball [2006], 4-5).
"Donald L. Hallstrom, "Do It Now," Ensign, Nov. 2007, 50
