The Frog Concept

Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.  -  Mark Twain 

It's a simple concept.  If you eat a live frog when you first get up in the morning, you can be pretty confident that you won’t have to do anything worse all day.  If you DID have to eat a live frog, you wouldn’t stare at it for ages first, you’d gulp it down quickly before you could think about what you were doing.
 

So if there’s one particularly nasty task that you’ve been putting off, do that first thing in the morning and don’t stop to think about it.  You’ll have it out of the way and everything else you do will be nothing in comparison.

My frog is definitely the washing up.  I let it build up ‘til it’s taking over the whole kitchen and Mum’s threatening to kick me out.   Then when I finally do it, we eat again and there’s more washing up to do.

What’s your frog?   Are you going to do it first thing in the morning or leave it for another day?
