Scott, this seems a useful device to use to remind one of their past intentions - so often they get lost in the myriad tasks and events of time.

However, a word of caution may be appropriate, for virtually all adages, axioms and proverbs*, have an equally rational or reasonable sounding opposite.

"A stitch in time saves nine" is one that comes to mind in this case.

'Make hay while the sun shines', may be another.

and

'Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do today."

'First come, first served.'

'It's the early bird that gets the worm.

I'm sure others could provide many more, just as there are many more that echo the one you've had.

It's always interested me how 'Old (men's) tales' are so common and so commonly quoted as wisdom when, in most cases their use is negated by an equally rational opposite or even if they contain sense - and many do, I admit - they are used with little understanding, somewhat akin to rote learning - that phrase being oxymoronic to say the least.

*(to me, at any rate, their definitions are hardly precise and even good dictionaries often fail in delineation of the differences.)

Anyway, not meaning to be picky or rude or inconsiderate of the sense of what you've written and how you intend to use this device, your piece just aroused my long held interest.

Take care. Stay safe.
