It makes a lot of sense!]]> 2018-09-19 19:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283614307 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283623755 I really enjoyed this video and I'm going to work on getting the things I procrastinate on the most done first. ]]> 2018-09-19 19:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283623755 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283636296 I am so appreciative of this point of view. I need to make this an every day practice - tackling the "worst" task first. Then everything else will be a walk in the park. It also provided a laugh - for a second I thought someone was actually eating frogs. ew. ]]> 2018-09-19 20:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283636296 gillespiem2 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283659469 I really enjoyed this video because I am personally someone who uses lists a lot. It can be hard for me to want to do the most time consuming tasks first, so this was a huge eye opener for me.]]> 2018-09-19 21:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283659469 domniek https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283685591 I definitely will be using this because I am someone who procrastinates things when I know they will be a challenge, so if I do the hardest thing first, then a weight will be lifted off my shoulders.

I feel that this is a very helpful way of looking at it to make it easier on myself.]]> 2018-09-20 15:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/283975908 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284201275 2018-09-21 02:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284201275 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284227313 This strategy is great for staying on top of to do lists. I realized that I already started to use this method when it comes to homework this semester, which has always been a tough thing for me to motivate myself to do!]]> 2018-09-21 05:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284227313 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284375214 I found this video interesting as it pertains to my everyday schedule!  On a daily basis I tend to procrastinate with the harder things on my to do list and put them off to complete till the end of the day. But, I can totally understand how doing those harder things right away in the morning, "eating the frog" will lift the stress of for the rest of my day. I will try this!!]]> 2018-09-21 13:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284375214 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284411210 Procrastination is one of my biggest weaknesses. "Eating the frog" is a great idea to get your hardest task out of the way. I will definitely need to try this tactic.]]> 2018-09-21 14:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284411210 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284491823 With everything that I have going on in my daily life, the only way I can keep track of what all needs to get done day-to-day is by making a to-do list for the next day, every night. I never thought about getting the hardest thing out of the way first though. I'm going to start making my lists from hardest/most time consuming tasks to the easier ones. Hopefully my morning routine improves at the same time!]]> 2018-09-21 17:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284491823 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284545833 Doing the hardest thing first will make the other activities seem like less of a task. I defiantly procrastinate so this will be a great way to over come that. I have done this before and it has worked for me in the past.]]> 2018-09-21 19:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284545833 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284577518 I liked this video and the point of view from the video. I think it was a good suggestion to get the worst task on your list done first so you have more energy and momentum for the rest of the tasks. I will start trying "Eating the frog" and see how the rest of my day is after that.

The video had many great points but one of my favorites was the quote from William James that said, "Procrastination is attitude's natural assassin there's nothing so fatiguing as an uncompleted task."]]> 2018-09-22 01:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284582978 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284591072 I am a terrible procrastinator but each term I get better. Something that I should really try is "eat the frog" to get the most undesirable task done first and then enjoy the others.

The one thing I procrastinate to do everyday is make phone calls to clients and set appointments. I would rather do anything else than that. But like the video said, I worry about that task all day long and it causes stress for myself. This has inspired me to get this done first thing every morning from now on, to make my work day run more smoothly.]]> 2018-09-23 23:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284817795 https://padlet.com/patricia_mielke/tn99e0pba05x/wish/284846156 "The frog should be the most difficult thing on your to-do list" Best advice ever for us procrastinators! It is much better than to procrastinate. I am doing this from now on especially when it comes to homework assignments so that I am not dreading them and worrying about them all day.

The frog represent something we dont want to do but know that we have to and if we get past the worst part of the day we have the time to enjoy the rest!
