"Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." Mark Twain
This is my new credo. Eat the frog.
To maximize my productivity at work and at home I do the most important, most challenging, hardest, most unliked task of my day first thing in the morning. I look at it as a test for myself. I don't even think about the challenge, I just dive in and get it done. Yes, I'm a GTDer. I find, even if I don't accomplish everything on my list of things to do, I still feel a great sense of accomplishment because I've completed a difficult and important task this day. I've started doing this at work and it has made a huge difference.
I'd like to make a new year's resolution to exercise first thing in the morning and have that be a frog on my plate. I know, I know... I've said a lot about exercise and haven't followed through. I think I'm in a big club on that point. I've often had big plans for the new year and hope to turn over a new leaf. I'm doing it again. I'm not giving up on myself.
I'm going to eat the frog. Then then the rest of my day will be cake. Right?
