Episode 59.5 - One Frog, Fifteen Minutes

Kathy thinks Eat the Frog by Brian Tracy should've been a blog post. Fair enough, it kind of is. But there's one idea worth fifteen minutes of your day, so that's what this mini-pod does with it. Your "frog" is the task you're avoiding. The big one. Tracy's whole argument: eat it first, before you've so much as looked at your inbox. Do the worst thing, and the rest of the day gets easy. Kathy gets into why we spend our energy on busywork instead of the task that actually matters, and the routines that stop you negotiating with yourself every morning at 6am. Multitasking gets a kicking too, obviously. Discipline, it turns out, is just a muscle - use it daily and it stops hurting quite so much.
