FIRST THINGS FIRST

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Add it to the pile.

Do you know that feeling? When you’re looking at your to-do list, trying to decide where to start. Your eye catches a specific item, but you don’t really feel like doing that one right now. You decide there’s still plenty of time to do it later and put it aside. Besides, there are several urgent items on the list which can be completed much more efficiently. So you decide to complete these first. 

The next day, you still haven’t gotten around to it. Things simply didn’t go the way you planned them. Luckily, there’s still time. But then again… there are still a few urgent tasks that take priority. And before you know it, a whole week has gone by. And the item is still on your to-do list.

By “worst” I mean “most important,” and by “most important” I mean the task you’re most likely to procrastinate on" https://www.fastcompany.com/1592454/work-smart-do-your-worst-task-first-or-eat-live-frog-every-morning

Always start with that thing on your to do list you least want to do. Why? It make you proud and self-confident. Serotonin levels go up in your brain!
