Most people get "Eat The Frog" all wrong.
Attributed to Mark Twain, “Eat The Frog” is widely known as doing the hardest thing first thing in the morning.
It's very "just do it."
But let me use my graceful yoga teacher voice here.
"Eat the frog" isn't about doing the thing you despise the most.
It's about:
Doing the 1 thing that requires your freshest energy and you want to give your freshest energy to
Example:
You may have considered your "Frog" a morning workout because it's the thing you despise the most.
BUT
Maybe a workout is the thing that requires your freshest energy so that's why you do it in the morning.
OR
Maybe it doesn't require your freshest brain power and your workout could be moved to after work when your brain is ready for a break.
--
Identify not what the hardest thing is, but what you want to dedicate your freshest energy to.
When you do this --
"Eating The Frog" it's no longer about forcing yourself do the hardest thing in the morning.
"Eating The Frog" becomes you following through on your commitment to become the best version of yourself.
