Eat That Frog!
(I am not encouraging you to buy this book, just giving you an overview of the idea it discusses.)
What Is A "Frog"?
Your "frog" is the ugly, pesky task that makes you sigh and groan to even think about.
What you have to do is tackle the frog as the very first thing you do, as a priority over everything else you need to get finished that day.
Help! I Have More Than One Frog
Sometimes, you have a basket full of frogs, but you can't kiss them and make them into Princes.
You need to prioritise them, choose the BIGGEST and UGLIEST frog to tackle first.
A lot of the time that one frog can be the thing that's causing your procrastination in the first place. Then your frogs will just snowball over time, growing and growing until it's almost unmanageable and you have 0 energy or willingness to do anything about it! Ribbit.
The Taste Is Delicious
Starting off your day with achieving to eat just one frog, one day at a time, may be the answer to helping you overcome procrastination.
I hope others here can find this very simplistic interpretation to be of some help.
