Hi kudesai-ga
It's a neat idea! And the translation is short and sweet:
cras agam (literally: I will do it tomorrow)
or if you want to emphasize a particular "it"
illud cras agam (literally: That, I will do tomorrow)
In Latin the verb comes at the end of the phrase. The Latin "id" is
the equivalent of "it" but is omitted with a transitive verb such as
agere (agam) unless "it" is to be emphasized as in the second
expession using "illud".
This phrase would make a great desk sign for a proscrastinator. (Note
the "cras" in that handy word.)
