I believe in setting aside time to deal with the things you would otherwise resist, but I reserve the top spot for the thing I believe is the most important thing I need to accomplish.

Right now, I’m working on a book which is my top priority. It’s the first thing I do after waking up and getting dressed. But I also happen to enjoy it.

(…)
An old saying is that “If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long!” Your “FROG” is the one you are most likely to procrastinate on if you don’t do something about it now! It is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life and results at the moment.

It has also been said that “If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first!” This is another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first. Discipline yourself to begin immediately and then to persist until the task is complete before you go on to something else.

You can think of it as a “TEST” or personal challenge. You must resist the temptation to start with the easier task! You must continually remind yourself that one of the most important decisions you make each day is your choice of what you will do immediately and what you will do later — if you do it at all!

One final assumption is “If you have to eat a live frog, it does not pay to sit and look at it for a very long time!”

When you’ve done the ugly stuff – eat the frog – you feel that you achieved sth, and at the same time you are relieved that you don’t have this frog on your plate.

The sensation is extremely pleasing and uplifting

More importantly, you don’t have to.

Let’s give people a break. They don’t have to find something deep, mysterious, and glorious in every activity.

I helped my wife raise two children who I’m madly in love with. I never got a deep, meaningful, rush from changing dirty diapers, but I did it anyway. Sometimes you just have to deal with the shit and get on with it.

Peace.

I did something pretty similar while working with the membership software I purchased. I printed out the table of contents from the instruction manual and checked each section off as I completed it.

It wasn’t exactly exciting or inspiring, but I got it done.
