Eat the Frog 🐸
Procrastinators' best solution 🤝
Hola, programmers; I hope you are having a productive day already!
It's common for us developers, or actually anyone else, to have hard tasks on our daily to-do list that need to be done ASAP. Still, unfortunately, some of us end up delaying it and sometimes even give up on it!
If you are one of those people, congratulations, I've brought the perfect solution to your problem.
🤔 What’s That?
Eat the Frog is the idea of tackling your hardest task or activity first thing in the morning; through that, you will get a sense of accomplishment, and every task after it will feel easier to attack.
✔ How to apply it
It’s Easy; what you have to do is:
Identify your Frog: which means addressing your hardest task.
Prioritize it: putting it as the first item on your to-do list.
Start Workday early: the earliest you start with that hard task, the better.
Eat the Frog: now, all you need to do is to get that task done; if it's really hard, you can break it down into smaller tasks to get that sense of achievement faster.
👌 How can it boost your productivity?
This productivity hack can impact your life in different ways, namely:
Better time management: through tackling your hardest activity first thing in the morning, you are ensuring that time isn't wasted on unimportant tasks.
