Welcome to the show! In episode 1 I discuss the cost of procrastination for those seeking high performance as I review the book "Eat That Frog!"
Key Takeaways
What is the real cost of procrastination? Confidence. When we constantly work on low level tasks, avoid discomfort or even boredom we damage our self confidence. Self confidence is the reputation you have with yourself. Every decision is casting a vote for your identity. When we begin to work on the things that are important versus entertaining we begin to gain momentum and with that comes confidence.
What is a frog? The biggest most important task that you are most likely to procrastinate on. Which goes into part 2. If you had to eat a frog every day would you get it over with first thing in the morning or wait until the evening where you had to use up all your mental bandwidth dreading it all day?
The myth of starting small. When we start with low level tasks or tadpoles to stay thematic they multiply like rabbits and you never make progress or your projects, goals, and dreams.
How to choose which frog to eat first? If you are not sure which task to complete first, go with the one that has the long term consequences if not done and long term positive consequences if done.
Do the worst first! Everyone procrastinates. The difference between high performers and low performers is largely determined by what they choose to procrastinate on.
Technology is a terrible master but a wonderful servant. How often do we use technology and scrolling through our phone to put off the important things? Can you arrange your phone apps in a way to be more productive or even better keep it out of sight when you work on important tasks?
Compulsion to completion. It has been estimated that when repeatedly pick up and put down tasks over and over the tasks take more than 500% longer. It’s having to recall the material and motivate again to restart versus keeping the momentum from start to finish. When we have a “compulsion to complete” you gain a deep satisfaction and cast a vote for the kind of person who finishes what they start. The brain believes based on evidence. Every action and every task completed is evidence for the type of person you are.
