there's a bit of conventional wisdom that goes like, "you shouldn't put stuff off and hope that you'll get around to it someday, because that someday never comes."

I have personal experience directly contradicts this. I am *repeatedly* the hero that my younger self dreamed of

it's true that you can bullshit yourself (and others) by saying + thinking "I'll do it later" and then not really mean it

but that doesn't mean "I'll do it later" is automatically an invalid option

"Someday I will..." can be a wishful, escapist fantasy... or it can be an honest, intentional promise that you make to yourself.

I think the important thing is to revisit it. Les Brown advised reviewing your dreams every day. I find that every few weeks works alright for me

anyway – context for this thread is:

I'm updating my marketing blog, which has been sitting on a subdomain of my main website for 5+ years. Visa-24 thought "someday I'll be glad I have stuff here, and I'll know better how to update and clean it up" – and he was right! good call
