Eat Your Frogs: A Productivity Technique Explained
Manage episode 421983728 series 3566435
Today I want to walk you through a concept that's a cornerstone of productivity: the eat your frogs technique.
For those unfamiliar, the idea is based on a Mark Twain quote: "If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that it is probably the worst thing that will happen to you all day long."
In our world of work, the "live frog" translates to those daunting tasks we keep putting off. You know the ones – annoying, time-consuming, or just plain scary to start.
Now, I don't literally recommend chowing down on amphibians, but in today’s episode I break down how I use this technique to tackle my to-do list, which I prefer to call a punch list (feels more action-oriented, don't you think?).
I'd love to hear how eating your frogs boosts your productivity. If you're struggling or have any questions, feel free to reach out.
