Ways to Quit Spinning Around

 

5.Do the Hard Stuff First

Mark Twain said, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” In other words, if you have something hard to do, get it out of the way so you don’t have to worry about it the rest of the day. At least that’s how the author of one prominent time management book understood it. They titled it “Eat That Frog!”

6.Write It Down

A “to-do” list is tried and true. But you can use other tools, too — the main thing is to write it down somewhere. Whatever you use to keep track of things you need to do, it’s better to have just one and keep it with you wherever you go — on your cell phone for example. Some kind of list keeper or calendar app is probably on your phone already.
