Eat the frog

"Eat the frog" might sound funny, but it’s a super helpful tip for tackling tasks, both daily and long-term. Imagine your "frog" as the hardest task on your to-do list, something you're maybe not looking forward to. The idea is to do this task first thing in the morning or at the start of the project, when your energy and focus are at their peak. Why? Because once it's done, you’ll feel a huge sense of achievement, and everything else will seem easier in comparison.

However, this approach might not fit everyone's style, especially if your energy peaks at different times — this is where knowing your chronotype comes in handy. If "eating the frog" doesn't suit your rhythm, aligning tasks with your natural energy levels might be more effective.
