I wanted to let you know about a book I read recently, that helped me become more focussed and more efficient in my daily life: Eat that frog! from Brian Tracy.
The main message is that, if you eat a living frog at the beginning of your day, everything else that you do that day is going to be (a lot) easier than that! Although I found it a weird metaphor to start with, but it does work. I since started my following days with the task that I was tempted to procrastinate on, and it made me feel good, as well as more efficient for the rest of the day!
Here after are a few other gold nuggets from his 21 methods and techniques that I particularly liked:
- A new habit will work for you if you use the 3 Ds of habit formation: Decision / Discipline / Determination..
- To focus on completing your most important tasks, ask yourself: what are my highest-value activities? What can I and only I do, that if done well, will make a real difference? What is the most valuable use of my time right now?
- If you must procrastinate, as you can't get everything done, procrastinate on the low-value activities!
Let me know what your own gold nuggets are from this book!
With love,
Madeleine
