Organize Your Time in Your Office-Eat That Frog

BullfrogSo much work, so little time!  How do you make sure that you organize your time to get your most critical tasks done?  How do you decide what your most critical tasks are?  First, I would highly recommend that you read the book, “Eat That Frog” by Brian Tracy-good shtuff!  But for now, each day I want you to start the day thinking about your “frog” which will be your most important task for the day and “eat that frog” or otherwise tackle that task so you know that you’ve gotten your most critical task done.  All the rest will fall in place.  Your frog is:

  1. Your biggest, most important task
  2. The task you are most likely to procrastinate on
  3. The task with the greatest positive impact

Your frog may have a financial consequence, it may have a deadline or it may need to be eaten before someone else can do their work.  Whatever your frog may be, you need to schedule time directly into your planner to get ‘er done.  According to Bill Zipp, scheduling a task into your planner is “putting the rock on the calendar.”  This is a way to make sure a task has time allotted to get it done vs. just hoping you can fit it in.  No hoping, only critical planning here!
