Well we are only 6 days into the new year, and already the procrastination has started. Procrastination is one the biggest area’s I need to improve this upcoming year. It makes you less effective and ultimately unproductive – which is a BIG NO NO when trying to grow a business.
Last year I read a book Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. The premise of the book is that by doing your hardest tasks first (frog eating) makes the rest of the day more productive.
Sounds crazy but it is true. I find that when I write out my TO DO list and prioritize my task, hardest to easiest, once I complete the hard tasks my day seems so much easier, and the smaller tasks get done with no effort. Then way I can spend the rest of my day knowing I’ve done the most irritating task and a weight is lifted off my shoulders.
And the quicker I am done with my TO DO list the quicker I can get to tackle other projects or just have some me time.
They say it takes 21 day to make a habit. If I implement the principals now, I should be much more organized and productive by the end of the month.
So I’m off – to Eat my first Frog of the day!
