Eat The Big Frog First | Shawn Stevenson

If you have to eat a frog, eat it first thing in the morning. If you got to eat two, eat the big one first. There's time and attention. We have a limited amount of both, but the most important thing that we have is not necessarily our time, it's our focused attention. And so each morning I try to eat the big frog. Like what's the one thing that if I do that morning, the rest of the day is kind of a win. The first thing for me is really working out because then I don't get anxious at the end of the day. And then the second thing is usually that one work thing I don't want to do that I really need to focus on and I don't want anybody bothering me. I like to get that big hairy frog done in the morning because then I know for the rest of the day, it's okay if my day gets stolen from me because I've done the really hard thing first.
