22. Do More of the Important Tasks by Learning to Eat Your Frog


Listen Later

Eat That Frog - This week's challenge if you need to get those big awkward tasks done!

Yes it's an odd phrase, but one that I heard a couple of years ago and have pretty much made it a habit, which is one that really ramps up your productivity of the things we normally procrastinate most over.

I challenge you to take your no 1, Most Important, but also significant task and get that done first.

Forget checking off quick to-do list items, getting stuck in your inbox of other people's agendas.

Tackle the needle mover, and feel that dopamine hit when you realise it's done.

And of course, the trick is not to start anything else until it's complete.

** For larger projects break down into tasks, just as you would any IT project. And make committed progress by completing a task first every day.

Get some accountability, before each day work out the 'Frog' you need to eat.

Share it on here #EatYourFrog or DM me and check-in later that day, feel how rewarding it is to know that it's done.

In fact, this will be so satisfying, it will start to train your brain that these tasks are actually good for you!
