It means to finish today’s things today and don’t put off today’s things until tomorrow. This sentence is intended to encourage people not to procrastinate and put off things that should be done today.

Procrastination prevents the target task from being completed within the deadline, or the target task has just been started within the deadline. It will lower work efficiency and make it impossible to complete tasks efficiently and with high quality.

This is a proverb, and its origin, author, and creation time cannot be verified.
