Eating frogs

“If it is your job to eat a frog, then do it first thing in the morning. And if it is your job to eat two frogs, eat the bigger one first”

Mark Twain

I think what Mr. Twain was getting at is you suffer twice when you procrastinate dirty smelly uncomfortable tasks you have to do.

If you have ‘Eat a frog’ on your to do list for the day and you don’t do it first thing in the morning you’ll spend the whole day dreading the eventual moment when you have to finally eat the frog.

Eating a frog is bad enough but you enhance that suffering when you delay in doing it.

Better to get it done immediately and minimise the mental torture.
