the engine that turns someday into right now, and panic into productivity
means a pressing sense that something needs immediate attention or action, leaving no comfortable room for delay
from From Latin urgere, 'to press, push, drive, or compel,' the same root that gives us 'urge.' The word arrived in English by way of French around the 16th century, carrying that bodily image of something physically pushing against you — a force at your back insisting you move now.
