Great post! I had never heard that Mark Twain quote before, but I love it. My husband is probably going to wonder when he sees “Eat the frog” post-it now stuck on the fridge, but I need to remind myself of this important piece of advice.. Thanks!

My grandfather used to always say a similar phrase “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day.” I would tell people this – and they always looked at me funny/strange . . .not really understanding. I never knew it was a Mark Twain quote! Now I don’t feel so strange quoting it!

Thanks!

Wow, this is so funny to me! After reading this I was trying to imagine myself eating a frog, when I remembered watching a guy this morning (yesterday now) eating a frog. RAW! My husband was watching some show on Tv and I turned my face and squealed. But now I can laugh because of the confirmation I just received just from putting those two things together. This article and that TV show.
(SN: the frog was raw with no skin, and I just saw the half with the legs, so he looked kind of like a chicken with two legs sticking out…)

Wow … the title of your post totally threw me off on what it was really about, but I am so happy I read it!

Yesterday I knew what my “to do list” was … complete my “day job” weekly timesheet and write 3 posts. I was THISCLOSE to writing first and holding off on my timesheets until before bed, but I switched it around. It felt so good getting the icky task out of the way early in the day. It even made writing that evening so much more enjoyable.

As for my every day “list” … I also hate working out and really should make that the start of my day just to get it over with.
