"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." Do you know who is famous for saying that?
What a go-getter.
Go-getters are quite a breed of people.
I wonder if you can become one yourself if you are more of a procrastinator, or would rather be a lover than a fighter, maybe even just sit around doing nothing at all, waiting for the evening to roll in. This is less than procrastinating. Procrastinating would imply some sort of resistance to doing something right now, postponing it for later. I mean, the type of person who is not doing anything now, and never mind later.
If you are that type of person, there is hope for you, yet! Go-getting might be in your future. This is not something impossible to attain. Once this happens, you start making lists, prioritizing what needs to be done, until eventually, your morning is packed with activities you never knew could be important, like taking out the organic trash before the acids eat through the plastic container or cleaning the tops of the cabinets in the kitchen well before the grime reaches 4 inches and you need something to scrape it off and bucket to haul it away with. Oh, the things you can accomplish before 10 am.
