No. 1 – Eat That Frog
If you were to eat a live frog first thing every morning – all the other things you would have to do that day would seem very easy to do. This illustrates the principle: If you do the hardest or most disliked thing of the tasks you have to do first, the rest will be easy and you will do them with ease and speed. – If you delay the hardest thing, the inner resistance to do it makes you slow down on every other thing you have to do that day.
How to Do It:
Wherever you have a list of tasks to do, either in your job or private cycles – choose the one that is most difficult for you and start out with that and get it done and over with.
Example:
If you have to call an angry customer to sort out things with him and otherwise have some letters to write – start out with the call.
If you have to clean the windows and clean up the garage and a bunch of other household cycles, decide which you disklike most and get this done first.
Try this for a week and then judge for yourself if it made your work easier and make you feel better.
