#011 Eat That Frog
“If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain
Don’t take the title of this episode literally! Rather make this metaphor as a foundation on how you face day-to-day challenges from your school works to your household chores. That and more are discussed today on Truth 4 The Youth Podcast so start tuning in.
Young people tend to categorize responsibilities by the complexity and then tackle it by ticking off tasks one by one from simple to difficult. This is wrong. Garth says you’re most likely to procrastinate if you do it that way. Start organizing your day better. Discover today how starting from the most difficult is more beneficial to you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sometimes, we’re held by our fears. If you ever try to organize all tasks and goals on a checklist, it’s instinctive to do simple stuff first. And, by the time you’re done with the simple tasks, we still don’t start doing the difficult ones since you’re scared. Garth says just do it. The truth is there’s always gonna be a difficulty, so there’s no other way to just do it.
Things might pile up. Once you’ve put off every task that needs to be done, you’ll be suffocated with responsibilities. Do one thing a day. Don’t slack and lay off important stuff.
Do the difficult stuff first so that you feel relief and less anxiousness as early as possible. Sometimes, we tend to overthink the big stuff while doing the small stuff.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's okay to be scared... Don't think that anybody else wasn't scared."
"The more stuff that you stop and don't do, the more frustrating and more difficult that thing will become."
"Do the hardest thing first. Everything else will be much easier."
