There is an old saying:
"If the first thing you do in the morning is to eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it's probably the worst thing you'll do all day".
In his book Eat That Frog - Brian Tracy uses this saying as a metaphor for tackling the most challenging task of your day first. This is the task that you are most likely to put off, but it's also probably the one that will have the greatest positive impact on your life. This struck a cord with me because like many people, I used to regularly put off the 'ugly tasks' because it was much easier to get on with the less challenging stuff. I have since used some of the ideas in this book to help me overcome this trait and my productivity has indeed improved. These ideas are common sense concepts that anyone can easily apply for themselves.
This Knowledge Gene® captures the key points from the book for you to use instantly.
