single word requests - What verb represents acting with optimism, enthusiasm and vitality?

It's somewhat difficult to find a good antonym verb for procrastinate. Go forth and procrastinate!



First thing that came to mind is the traditional idiom carpe diem or seize the day. "Seize" is at least a verb and can be imperative.



A good adjective is proactive.



But for verbs, I first thought execute as fitting as long as it's clear by context which meaning you are using. Since both your examples are intransitive, perhaps it is clear:




execute - intransitive verb:



to perform properly or skillfully the fundamentals of a sport ...



execute -



To execute means to carry out in full or perform. If you execute all the difficult steps of the dance perfectly, you will make your instructor proud.




Accomplish is also a close synonym, though I see it as less imperative than execute.
