English Synonyms and Antonyms
this instant
The strong and general human tendency to procrastination is shown in the progressive weakening of the various words in this group. Immediately primarily signifies without the intervention of anything as a medium, hence without the intervention of any, even the briefest, interval or lapse of time. By and by, which was once a synonym, has become an antonym of immediately, meaning at some (perhaps remote) future time. Directly, which once meant with no intervening time, now means after some little while; presently no longer means in this very present, but before very long. Even immediately is sliding from its instantaneousness, so that we are fain to substitute at once, instantly, etc., when we would make promptness emphatic. Right away and right off are vigorous conversational expressions in the United States.
Synonyms:
at once, directly, forthwith, immediately, instanter, instantly, now, presently, right away, right off, straightway, without delayAntonyms:
after a while, by and by, hereafter, in the future, some time

How to use this instant in a sentence?
The long-term growth outlook is upbeat, as Amazon slowly takes away traditional retail's last competitive advantage - instant gratification - and rides the AWS cloud secular growth theme.
Delays during the pandemic have caused a lot of pain in terms of putting a brake on both instant gratification and efficiency. Now consumers are trying to recalibrate.
Thomas Paine, in his "The Rights of Man" (1791):
The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.
This generation of high school kids is different than any other, and they see a different world out there, they are ensconced in a techno-cocoon with their devices. They have been raised with technology where everything happens in an instant. So they develop the thinking, ‘I deserve what’s good right now; I want that and I should have it.’.
Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it. Small as the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead.
