Procrastination Tip - Eat the Frog!
Go ahead and have one for breakfast. It's a great way to start
your day.
Ok, I know, nobody wants to actually eat a frog. But what if you
had to eat a one?
For a moment, let's pretend.
You start your day and from the very beginning you know at some
point- you have to eat a frog. So what do you do???
Procrastinate
Most people will put off eating the frog as long as possible.
Hoping something will save them or maybe the frog will
disappear. As the day goes on the frog starts to haunt your
thoughts.
While working on other projects or trying to relax and have fun-
thoughts of the frog surface. This starts to create a sense of
anxiety and stress. Your enthusiasm and satisfaction will wan
and your feeling of empowerment will lessen as you feel enslaved
by the impending doom awaiting you.
Ok maybe not impending doom, but you get the idea. This one
thing has a negative effect on your whole day.
Procrastination Tip
Eat the fog! This is the radical idea. ;) Take a lesson
from Nike and Just Do It! It may taste nasty or be an
annoying or frustrating task. But accomplishing it will lighten
up your mood and give you a surge of energy and enthusiasm for
the day. It's an empowering feeling and it will spread into your
other activities.
The
Lesson
As we work on projects and organize our day there may be tasks
we have to do, things we know must be accomplished, but we are
not excited about. So we put them off, procrastinating and
dreading the inevitable. We wind up being tormented by them all
day rather than just once and getting it over with.
Shakespeare said:
Cowards die many times before their
deaths.
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Be brave, use this procrastination tip to eat the frog first
thing in the morning and be free of it. Live your day with
passion, inspiration, and courage.
