Eat That Frog: Book Review
Somedays it’s just too hard to get off the couch, especially when there is that one item on the to do list that has to be done.
You know the one.
It’s that to do list item that stares at you, and the longer you put it off the more daunting it seems to be.
This is also the same to do list item that, once complete, will feel like a huge weight off your shoulders and you’ll be motivated to do even more.
This is your frog, and it’s what Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy is about.
In the introduction Tracy mentions a quote by Mark Twain that basically says if the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live frog then there is nothing worse you could do for the rest of the day.
In other words, if you complete that daunting task on your to do list right away, it will help you become more productive and more motivated to complete your to do list.

A Meditation for the Kitchen

Exploding Head Syndrome: Do You Have It?
My husband was out of town last week for a military training. I have no problems with him being gone; however, even with my anxiety medicine sometimes the overwhelm of getting everything accomplished without him is a bit much. Last week we had a lot to accomplish. It was the one week where all of…
