🚀 How I Learned to Conquer Procrastination: 3 Lessons from Eat That Frog Last week, I finished reading Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy MBA and it completely shifted my perspective on productivity. If you’re someone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by a to-do list or struggled with procrastination, let me share 3 key takeaways that have already made a huge difference in my life: 1️⃣ Tackle Your Biggest Task First (The Frog) We all have that one task we dread—our “frog.” It’s tempting to avoid it, but Brian Tracy argues that this task is often the most important. By tackling it first thing in the morning, you set the tone for a productive day. I started identifying my daily “frog,” and the clarity it brought was transformative! 2️⃣ The Power of the 80/20 Rule Did you know that 20% of your tasks create 80% of your results? This insight taught me to focus on the tasks that truly matter instead of trying to do everything. Now, I prioritize what moves the needle instead of getting caught up in busywork. 3️⃣ “Perfection Is the Enemy of Progress” Sometimes, we delay starting a project because we want it to be perfect. Tracy reminds us that getting started, even imperfectly, is better than waiting for the perfect moment. This lesson helped me embrace action over hesitation. Since applying these lessons, I’ve seen real progress in my work and personal life. The book is a quick read but packs a punch, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to level up their time management game. 💡 What’s your “frog” today? Share in the comments—I’d love to hear how you tackle big tasks! #Productivity #TimeManagement #EatThatFrog #BrianTracy #Procrastination #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #CareerGrowth #Motivation

The perfect daily routine does not exist 🥲 However, what does matter is feeling motivated, positive, expectant, and hyper focused each day 🔥 Which camp do you sit in 🤷♂️ 1) Daily routine's don't matter. It is all about the daily grind 🥵?? 2) A great daily routine is a game changer 💡?? This is a pic of me yesterday morning. 4 things that helps me in the morning… #1 Reading an inspiring book to help me to learn and grow📕 #2 Identity things I am grateful for in life ⭐️ #3 Planning my day and focusing on tasks that are aligned to my mission / goals 👌 #4 Exercise - Not everyday but a few days a week 💪 Rather than falling into the trap of being immediately switched on when you wake up, identify what makes you feel energised going into your day 🎉🎉 Ps: Thank you Paul Mendoza for the book recommendation. I love it 😊 #purpose #performhappy #growthmindset #performance

Last night, I stayed up till 4 AM feeling proud of my output... but later, I came to a realization. We've all been there, right? You're working late, determined to get something done. That was me yesterday, burning the midnight oil until 4 AM. At first, I felt a sense of accomplishment—mission complete. But as the day went on, I had a critical realization. Was it really necessary to stay up until 4 AM? Looking back, the answer was a clear NO. Here’s why: 1. Distractions all around – Yes, I finished the task, but not without constantly losing focus. I was jumping between unrelated thoughts, sidetracked by planning other things. 2. Side tasks creeping in – Along the way, I let myself drift into doing other less important tasks, adding to the time. 3. Mindless content consumption – And let's not forget, I also scrolled through some content “just for a break,” which took more time than it should have. This made me reflect: It’s great to work hard, but hard work without focus and structure can lead to pseudo-productivity. Staying up late might feel like an accomplishment, but in reality, it hampers your energy and effectiveness for the next day. So what’s the takeaway? ➡️Keep a strong track of your time and mental focus. ➡️Ensure you're working smart, not just hard. ➡️Most importantly, rest is essential to sustainable productivity. Let’s strive not just to be busy, but to be truly productive and rested. #realisation #productivity #selfgoals #nightowl #Productivity #TimeManagement #Focus #Discipline #SmartWork #SustainableSuccess #Efficiency #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset #MindfulWork

Today I felt stuck, in a bit if a bind, I kept procrastinating over the tasks ahead before the long weekend. So I decided to take a break. In my bookmarks I had a few ted talks that I've been meaning to get to, so I though a good time as any. So I picked "Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator," by Tim Urban - fitting. Here are five key points that I found helpful. 1. Instant Gratification Monkey: Tim explains how the "Instant Gratification Monkey" in our brains favors immediate pleasure over long-term tasks, leading to procrastination. 2. Rational Decision-Maker vs. Panic Monster: He contrasts the "Rational Decision-Maker," who plans and aims for long-term goals, with the "Panic Monster," which only appears when a deadline is imminent, forcing us to take action - I'm a panic monster. 3. Deadlines and Panic: Procrastination with deadlines leads to last-minute rushes but generally ensures tasks are completed. Without deadlines, however, important tasks can be perpetually delayed. Like today for me. 4. Life Calendar: he introduces the "Life Calendar," a visual tool that shows the limited number of weeks in an average lifespan, emphasizing the importance of not delaying important tasks. 5. Call to Action: he calls you to confront our procrastination habits, recognizing the detrimental role of the "Instant Gratification Monkey" and taking proactive steps to manage our time better. Tim Urban offers a funny yet insightful look into the mechanics of procrastination and provides a wake-up call to take control of our productivity. Have a watch of it. Now back to work #procrastination #lifeworkbalance #calltoaction #panicmonster

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on time management and task prioritization—both in my personal life and at work. It’s been an ongoing journey, but I’ve learned a few things about how I work best. For starters, I’ve found that adding structure to my day and working in focused time blocks helps me stay productive and on track. However, I’ll admit I don’t always tackle the most challenging tasks first, which can sometimes leave me feeling stuck or drained as the day progresses. Recently, I attended a meeting where the concept of “eating the frog first” came up, inspired by Brian Tracy’s book Eat That Frog. 🐸 The idea is simple: start your day by tackling the hardest, most important task—the one you’re most likely to procrastinate on. By doing this, you free up mental space, avoid procrastination, and build momentum for the rest of the day. Here’s what I’ve discovered in practicing this: The “frogs” are rarely as big or difficult as I make them out to be in my head. Completing those tasks early in the day saves me the mental energy I’d waste avoiding them. I feel a sense of accomplishment that sets the tone for the rest of my day. This is still a work in progress for me, but I’m seeing real strides. By embracing this approach, I’m learning to better manage my time and energy while making steady progress on the things that matter most. What’s your “frog” today? 🐸 Have you tried eating the frog first? If you’re looking for guidance on how to plan and prioritize your day—so you can tackle your “frogs” and realize they’re not as daunting as they seem—I’m here to help! DM me and let's talk!

Procrastination: A Challenge I’m Ready to Conquer One of the biggest challenges I face is being constantly occupied with multiple tasks at once. This leads me to procrastinate on things that aren’t yet completed and leave them hanging. The result? Endless to-do lists and the feeling that there’s always something left undone. Procrastination: A Challenge I’m Ready to Conquer It’s time to break this cycle. I’m determined to stop putting things off and start taking control of my schedule. I realize that effective time management isn’t just about getting more done, but also about finding balance and avoiding burnout. This year, my goal is simple: Organize my time better, complete tasks on time, and say goodbye to procrastination once and for all. Is anyone else struggling with the same?
