Mark Twain makes a good point, but that's not exactly what I had in mind.
I had never heard the phrase "Eat your frog" until I started looking up ways to make my days more productive and get more done.
It is a concept that is along the same lines as Mark Twain's "Eat a live frog" quote, but instead of actually eating a live frog (yeeck) you pick the the task off your to do list that you most dread doing that day and you just do it.
That "task" is your frog!
You get it out of the way early in your day so that you don't have to keep dreading it the rest of the day. Everything else on your to do list should seem a lot less daunting once you get your frog out of the way!
Now that the worst is off your to do list and off your mind, you can move on to other things you need to get done.
I know that when I have something on my to do list that absolutely needs to get done, but I just keep putting it off because I hate the task or might be intimidated by it, I feel stressed. That stress makes it so much harder to focus on anything and everything else I need to do and it stays with me until I finally tackle the task.
So, eating your frog everyday not only makes you a more productive person, but it can also give you peace of mind as you go through your day.
What is your frog today?
