"Eat a live frog every morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." Mark Twain
Anyone but me like to procrastinate? Okay, it's not that I 'like' to, it's just that I've gotten in the nasty habit over my lifetime. Every day there seems to be something on my to-do list that I keep putting off until the next day because I just don't want to do it. Sometimes, a month later, it's still on the list.
So, back to the quote....The basic idea is that if you do the worst thing on your plate first thing in the morning, the rest of the day is a cake walk (Organizingyourway.net). So, I've been "eating my frog" so to speak and it's working for me. It's nice to be free of that pesky task and not have to stare at it for weeks......or months. I like this.

That's a great approach to the day. I definitely have things that keep getting transferred from list to list and that probably wouldn't take that long if I'd just decide to do them.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll give it a shot. Tomorrow...haha.
Just wanted to return and say that I ate a frog yesterday...this counter top that I have been avoiding for waaaaaay too long. It didn't take that much effort and I feel so much better now. Thanks for the inspiration.
