We are all guilty of procrastinating at some stage in our attempts to achieve our goals. In his book “Eat that frog”, Brian Tracy uses an old metaphor to help people overcome their procrastination. The metaphor says, if the first thing you do in the morning is to eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that it’s probably the worst thing you’ll do all day.
When you look at your ‘to do’ list and you see those tasks; the ones that have been there for what seems like ages. They’ve been there so long you wonder how you’re going to raise the motivation and generate enough momentum to complete them.
