Eat That Frog to Stop Procrastinating

If you eat a live frog every morning, then you can face the day knowing the worst is behind you.

So goes an old saying and a theory about how to stop procrastinating made popular by author Brian Tracy. He says “eating a frog” is like tackling your most difficult task first thing each day – which is also the one that can do the most for you.

Now, no one is actually suggesting you eat a frog – live or otherwise! 

But I bet you have an unpleasant chore you’ve been putting off… and putting off… 

That’s been bugging you, distracting you, making you feel like an irresponsible procrastinator.

So, why not do it today? Right now.

Just imagine how much clearer your mind will be when “It” is finally off your plate. Imagine the brain power you can now devote to other things you’ll enjoy more. 

I know when I was running my allied health clinic, the "frog" was the bank reconciliation. There were so many transactions in and out each day that the bank rec would it would feel overwhelming and I'd put it off. Then I'd come to it after a few weeks, and it would take hours...mostly because many of the transactions were not front of mind so it took me double the time to remember, find the receipts and reconcile them. 

When I started doing the bank rec every day, first thing, it was off my plate, and I had way more brain power to devote to things that actually moved the needle forwards in my business. 

Like creating and launching my online business.

It’s just a matter of making priorities and decisions, and then having the determination and discipline to follow through on them. Like everything that’s hard at first, it gets easier each time you do it – and you'll get to experience the reward.

There are so many rewards I now experience from running my online coaching programs. More money in, with less money out, and way less bank reconciliation items is just one of them!
