Idioms to say If there is something needed to be done, then do it today?

Question

My friend try to use idioms/parse to express that "If there is something has to be done, then let's do it right now, not postpone to other day."

She was trying to use "One of these days is none of these days", labelled on her product package, trying to be cool :)

But I felt that sounds weird... The parse itself doesn't make sense alone by itself... Its make sense during conversion like here: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/One+of+these+days+is+none+of+these+days

So is there any other idioms that can be use alone, a parse on the product/poster/shirt itself that sounds cool?

Answer 5

This is an idiom that captures the notion of doing things right the first time: A stitch in time saves nine. It is a proverb that means "a timely effort will prevent more work later".

The intent isn't to "stitch time", but rather, that by making a quick stitch to something coming apart now, a lot of time and trouble will be saved later due to the entire thing unraveling and falling apart. Think of a sail.
