Eat a Frog

I love this short movie from Simple Truths called Eat That Frog. There is a saying that if you eat a frog first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen all day.

They then go on to explain that the biggest, most daunting thing on your To Do list is your frog and if you do it first thing, it's done and everything else on your list will get done easily. It gives you energy to do the rest of the stuff.

There is also a line in there about the things we avoid drain all our energy without us even being aware it is doing so. How true is that? I am never more tired and drained than when I have a huge To Do list and it seems, or maybe just one thing on it seems, to big to do.

William James, one of the founders of Modern Psychology said this: Procrastination is attitudes natural assassin. There is nothing so fatiguing than an uncompleted task.

So what are you waiting for? Go eat your frog!
