Eat The Frog

in response to blakely

I think I’m looking for recs on how to adult… like how are we all going to the dentist, getting dog food, dusting, switching out the dish towels, not running out of butter, calling our long distance friends or parents, stretching, cleaning the stove… not to mention actually working, owning businesses, raising pets & kids… I consider myself a very responsible person (elementary school teacher said I need to “have more fun” so that likely conveys all you need to know) and I don’t know how we are doing it. Do I need a physical calendar? The right Claude prompt? A sticky note and a mission?

I think there is a famous self-help book this is based on (my mom, a teacher, used to say it when I was in HS) but essentially you do the hardest task first, the one you’re dreading most or the one that takes the most brain power. Once you finish that, the rest of the day is downhill and you can ride the high of completing your worst task till 5pm.
