There are many reasons why you may put off completing important activities, mundane projects or necessary work. For those tasks without deadlines, you may tell yourself you’ll get around to it “one day,” knowing full well that day may never come. Whether it’s a lack of motivation, fear of failure, a busy schedule or simply dread for the task at hand, you’ll find a number of situations that tempt you to push it off. However, this usually leads to subpar work and an unnecessary amount of stress.

The Lord is with you.’ 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
