Procrastination and the Bible relates to verses in the Bible that help overcome a tendency to procrastinate. Procrastination is a far greater problem today than a half-century ago, as the average amount of procrastination today is 2.5 hours every day.

Examples in the Bible to overcome this include:

Matthew 21:28-31 :

“What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

Proverbs 13:4 :[1]

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
