What I take from this is: If you ever feel bad about not writing that thing, remember that people have been struggling with procrastination since writing was invented.
"Stop procrastinating" in cuneiform:

"Why don't you write your tablet and do your homework? If you don't, they will say: "Is *this* the sister of Sheru'a-eṭirat, eldest daughter of the Succession Palace of Ashur-etel-ilani-mukinni, the great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria?"
