“Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him.”
—Edward Young, 18th Century English Poet
When we think of the word “collar” most of us think of the piece of clothing around our necks. In Young’s day, it was often used as a term to apprehend or arrest a criminal.
If you watch police shows on TV, the term often points to the success rate of bringing in the bad guys and taking them off the streets to pay for their crimes.
