Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” — Mark Twain

Why would I eat the frog? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Eating the frog is a metaphor for time management. The frog refers to the thing that you postpone in your to-do list. Eating the frog means having the thing on your list done. You will keep procrastinating until you finish it. Either you eat it or it eats you!

For effective time management:
1. Pick your frog 🐸
2. Eat it 🍴
3. Repeat it every day ✔️

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” — Mark Twain

As Mark Twain said, if you have more than one thing on your list, start with the hardest or the most important one. My frog for today was to prepare this post. What’s yours?
