Why do we delay doing worthwhile things we know must be done? Wouldn't it be a lot easier if we just went ahead and did it? Wouldn't everyone benefit by timely action?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Sometimes our first reaction is not the best choice. There are instances when the delay lets us consider the situation more deeply and come up with a wider range of choices.
Sometimes the delay gives the situation a chance to change, opening better possibilities.
Instant action is not always the best choice. It can be frustrating for people who think they know what should be done and why aren't you doing it? But patience can be as effective as movement.
Sometimes.

Well sure, but then there wouldn't be anyone here on YA to answer your questions. My motto for the new millenium: "Never do today what I can put off to tomorrow."

The best answer to this is: Hard work often pays off over time. Lazyness ALWAYS pays off NOW!

Because so many people are becoming addicted to immediate- gratification. Doing stuff you have to do to live isn't always fun so why do it.
