Eat the frog first (Added to notion)

Need advice on how to make yourself sit down and do the things that are less easy to do?

Read Charles Duhigg’s book, “The Power of Habit”, Steven Coveys “1st things 1st”, or best of all, Brian Tracey’s “Eat the Frog First”

Build a simple habit of doing the most challenging, most resisted, important task (anything, little or big) before you do any routine tasks like answering emails, especially early in the day when you still have decision-making muscle. Look forward to the more accessible, fun, and exciting stuff you’ll do the rest of the day as a reward.
