Thing You're Probably Going To Do Today: wait.

How much of your life do you spend waiting instead of living?

Admittedly the two aren't mutually exclusive, but even so waiting does tend to bite large chunks out of your actually-doing-stuff time.

Perhaps today is the day to make sure that none of the waiting time is wasted...

...unless, of course, you enjoy doing absolutely nothing. 

Then it's fine.

Possibly.

Thing You're Probably Going To Do Today: wait. This word comes from Old French waitier, and is related to the Old High German wahtēn to wake.
