Procrastination ...... Eat that Frog, 1st thing.......... Every morning!

Procrastination is : 'Attitude's natural Assassin'. 
There is nothing so fatiguing as an uncompleted task......
Because , -a procrastinator puts off until tomorrow the things he has already put off until today.


The key to reaching high levels of performance and productivity is to develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing each morning. 
There's an old saying that..... ".... if you eat a live frog in the morning, nothing worse can happen for the rest of the day....! "


Your "frog" should be the most difficult item on your to-do list....
...the one you will most likely procrastinate on..! 
Because if you eat that 1st it will give you Energy & Momentum for the rest of the Day...., else you will let him sit there on the plate while you are doing a 100 other unimportant things, -that will Drain your Energy ( & you won't even know it...! )
To Begin & 'doing it 'will allow you to ...
* get more done in less time; 
* cut to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline and determination. 
The habits of setting priorities, overcoming procrastination, and finishing your most important task 1st  will determine your success in work & in general life. 
Time management is really: Effective Life Management.........


Another  (much more positive) way of looking at this 'dreadful event' is: 
Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again tomorrow.......
...or even : What a wonderful problem-solving opportunity God has given us..... ? 


* No job ever got done by dreading it........

A lot of things become more difficult, the more we put them off or the more significance we attach to them.
If we stop dreading and start doing, we save a lot of time & energy and wind up being much more productive.
It’s a simple truth that can help you get moving......



Shalom
