We all have that one thing we really don’t want to do.
The email we’re avoiding.
The laundry pile.
The workout.
The awkward conversation.
That’s your frog.
The trick? Do it right away.
Either way, the frog is causing you discomfort.
When you “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, you take care of the worst thing you have to do that day right away, and the rest of your day feels lighter.
You stop thinking about it, and you stop dreading it. The rest of your day isn’t affected by the cloud of the undone thing hanging over your head all day (or week or month or year).
Usually this thing we’re avoiding doesn’t even take that long to complete, but it takes up a disproportionate amount of brain space.
So—what’s your frog today?
Name it.
Eat it.
Then let’s all enjoy the rest of today frog-free.
