Mark Twain has been attributed as saying if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you won’t do anything else more unpleasant the whole day. What that means is do the most daunting task first. Sometimes it’s the hardest, sometimes it’s just the most unpleasant. 

Almost always these are relatively quick tasks and the anticipation is worse than the reality. But, sometimes it’s not a quick task and it really is as bad as you think it’s going to be. Either way going ahead and getting that thing done first thing in the morning is going to set you up for success for the rest of your day.

Habits are those things that you train yourself to do almost on autopilot. Habits can help reduce the mental load we have when we spend time debating with ourselves about doing a task or when we’ve had a long day and now we’re having to make all new decisions about what we need to do. Essentially, establishing habits is a great way to get more energy back into your day.

What constitutes a small space? The answer is going to be different for everyone, right? It might depend on what part of the country you grew up. One may have grown up where two story homes with basements were the norm, while someone else thought those types of homes only belonged to the very wealthy.  

It may also depend on your life circumstances. If you have a 3,000 square foot home, but you are running a business out of it, your space may feel small to you. 

Sometimes it may be the way your home is laid out. If you have a larger home, and you are a family with several children, having only 3 bedrooms may be constraining to you if you also need to have an office space because you work from home. 

All of that to say, what defines a small space is going to be different for everyone, but the principles here will apply in all of those circumstances.
