Rules to Stop Procrastination…

June 10, 2013

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

Eat That Frog!

“Your ‘frog’ is your biggest, most important task, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on.”  —Brian Tracy from the book:  Eat That Frog

Brian Tracy’s rules for Eating Frogs

1.  If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first.

2.  If you have to eat a live frog at all, it doesn’t pay to sit and look at it for very long.

What’s your frog today???  Mine is paperwork…Gulp!

    Thank you for starting my day with a smile. Thank heavens there are few frogs in my life right now.

    And, I just requested the book from my local library.

      Let me know what you think…I am really enjoying it.

    That’s great! I need to read that book! My frog today is actually a sewing project. You would think that I hate to sew the way I’ve been putting it off. I think I just don’t like being stuck in the basement when I sew, but today is a rainy day. 🙂

      My sister brings her sewing machine outside on nice days. You might try that.

        I actually thought of that as I was writing that comment! I think I’ll try it! 🙂

      Lucky you–you can quilt all day!

    Wouldn’t the frog prefer you to procraste?
    Anyway, I’m a vegetarian, so can’t eat frogs…
    May my excuses never grow less 🙂

      procraste: accelarated procrastination (for advanced learners)

      LOL! I guess I never looked at it from the frog’s point of view! Maybe I should kiss him instead?

    I think that’s a picture of a toad. I never eat toads–might get warts on my tongue!

    1. theinboxjaunt says:

      How can you tell a frog from a toad? (Good thing I’ve decided not to eat him–just kiss him!?–warts are not good for our complexion!)
