Eat the frog

By Aino on March 27, 2020

We have a tendency to avoid the hard parts. To postpone the difficult task and to procrastinate the ones that make us uncomfortable. No need to be ashamed though, that’s only a very human thing to do. Eat the frog is a technique that helps you go over that.

What it means is that pick the most anxiety bringing task from your list and do it first thing in the morning. It’s your frog, eat it.

What happens when you eat the frog is that quite often you find out that the most anxiety was gained from exaggerating the task inside your head and not from the task itself. When done, it might even feel silly to be having such a strong discomfort towards it.

Another benefit of eating the frog is that if you were honest and really picked up your hardest task to be the frog, after that everything else seems so easy.

Let’s try! I just ate mine, what’s your frog of the day?
