Eat that Frog

Assign a time and be ready to eat that frog.

Drawing inspiration from Eat That Frog by Bryan Tracy.

In his work "Eat That Frog", Brian Tracy looks at the problem of having too many tasks and too little time.

One of the five main principles he emphasizes is preparation. 

To avoid procrastination, it is recommended that the most challenging task should be completed first thing in the morning. Nevertheless, I must express that, as a mother, simply eating the frog is not sufficient.

It is critical to understand the possible consequences of not accomplishing that "demanding job that needs to be accomplished" particularly when your days are full of unexpected occurrences, particularly from the children's unexpected activities. Because of circumstances beyond my control, I have experienced many mornings not being able to do the task I wanted to most. However, to help manage my frustration, I have taken Zig Ziglar's counsel and started with a desired outcome in mind. Before I dive into the work in the morning, I make sure I have familiarized myself with the title, subtitles, statistics, charts, bar graphs, and exercises that are often included after each unit of the Cambridge self-study books. By taking this approach, I'm sure my thoughts are organized and I'm ready to face the tasks ahead.

 Stephen Covey emphasizes that visualizing the entire process of a shot is not enough in golf.

Many golfers find it difficult to picture the outcome after the ball hits the target. It is rare for the golf ball to hit the target and remain in place. In general, it may move by bouncing, spinning, rolling out, or reverting. It is essential, just like a golfer, to imagine the shot from the beginning to the end (when the ball ceases). The ideal study session for a student in the morning should start the night before. Utilize an alarm clock (GOOGLE spoken alarm). For example, the mine says aloud: "Nala visualize your dawn."

 This implies that you must ready your workstation, acquire your materials, visualize the process of studying the topic, comprehend the data, finish that unit, and accurately answer the questions. It is of the highest priority.

 In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear presents us with a chapter titled "The Secret of Self-Control". His words indicate that it is difficult to maintain a positive habit in a negative atmosphere. A “hostile atmosphere” for me is rousing to a cluttered desk (VARI), that is overflowing with shut books, of which I am uninformed of the page they are on, what number of passages they have, how they are demonstrated, or more regrettably still, what method I will use to take in the most pertinent data of that chapter.

One way I can decrease my anxiousness is to be a bit proactive with my work.
