Eat
a live frog first thing in the morning
and
nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
― Mark Twain
Well,
that’s certainly a recipe for success...
If the
frog is of the metaphorical variety, of course.
In his
book Eat That Frog! business coach
Brian Tracy spells out a simple method for beating procrastination.
He suggests
that those items on your daily “To Do” list are actually not tasks at all —
They’re
frogs.
And if
you want a surefire sauté for a successful day…
Always
eat the biggest, baddest, ugliest one first.
Not only
will you knock a greater number of items off of your daily list…
Face it, once you've choked down one
giant UGly frog, the rest are a
whole lot easier to swallow…
Over
time, you’ll also accomplish your most important 2014 goals faster.
And you
may be surprised to find that those biggest, baddest frogs aren't really so bad after all.
In fact —
They taste a lot like chicken.
PROMPT: What if you took out your magic
wand and turned your daily creating, writing, or revising time into your
hairiest, scariest, wartiest frog? Try it for a month, and who knows — one kiss
of success might just turn you into
writing royalty.
