I've been listening to a great audiobook on productivity and effectiveness: Eat That Frog: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time by Brian Tracy.
The main thrust is based on a Mark Twain quote, “If you eat a frog first thing in the morning, the rest of your day will be wonderful.” The idea is to get your ugliest task out of the way first thing.
I'm listening to it one chapter at a time and putting each step into practice before I move on to the next. I've been eating a lot of frogs in the past couple of weeks and have the crossed off to-do lists to prove it.
Now I'm off to plan my amphibian menu for tomorrow. Ribbit!
