Create a Daily To-do List & Eat Your Frog (#39 & #1)

It was so nice to wake this morning with the table set for breakfast and the sink empty! I'm loving this book, and this blog is helping me stay focused on it.
So continuing on....
Project #39 is an easy one, since I've already found my favorite pdf for it: create a daily to-do list.
Tsh recommends to take the 3 most important tasks from your to-do list. If you accomplish them, then you should feel successful. (The daily planner pdf has a spot at the top for those 3 most important tasks, and another area for the rest of your list.)

She offered a great idea: instead of printing a new page for each day, just place one inside a plastic sheet, or frame it, and use a dry erase marker. I like this!

Now, I think the next best project to add to our routine is #1, eat your frog. Your frog is your least favorite task on your to-do list.

“Eat a live frog every morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” —Mark Twain 

It should be done AFTER your nice, soul-soothing morning routine. 

According to Tsh, this is how you find what your frog is:

1. First, create your day’s to-do list (project 38). 

2. Pick your three Most Important Tasks  

3. Out of those three things, pick the worst one. Do that task first. Make that your frog. 

"Focus on your frog-eating until it becomes a routine part of your day. Sounds strange, I know, but when you eat a frog first thing, the rest of your day runs much more smoothly. "
