Omoitatta ga Kichijitsu
When you decide to do something, it is better to take action as soon as possible rather than put it off.
The Japanese proverb, omoitatta ga kichijitsu (思い立ったが吉日), explains such a fact.
Since omoitatsu (思い立つ) means "to decide," and kichijitsu (吉日) means "auspicious day," this proverb literally means "the day you decide to do something is an auspicious day."
In modern Japanese grammar, it may be more accurate to add hi (日 - meaning "day") and say omoitatta hi ga kichijitsu (思い立った日が吉日).
