Personally, I think it is better to eat delicious food first. Because you have a stomach to eat, if you are full, eating your favorite food will only destroy the taste of the food.

In addition, there are many things in life that need our self-control and patience. For example, the hard and easy things are in front of you, which one would you choose to do first?

Different from what we can give priority to when eating, at this time, we should choose to do the difficult things first. Because only in this way can we grow and control the future.

This is what Born Tracy's Eat Frogs tells us. Eating that frog is a book about time management, which gives the time management rule of 2 1, which is very practical.

Born Tracy is an authority on personal growth and one of the most successful speakers and consultants on personal career development.

Everyone may have done one thing since childhood, that is, writing a data sheet.

Especially at the beginning of the holiday, or when I suddenly want to work hard, I begin to write hard, one by one, and plan what I should do in each time period. Then stick it on the bedside or desk to encourage yourself.

But contrary to expectations, the timetable is often forgotten in a few days. Because it can't be strictly implemented, there are often unexpected events that disrupt our plans.

In fact, there is a saying about time management:

"Time management means doing the right thing at the right time."

The so-called time management is not about time, but about ourselves.

Because time and things are chosen and completed by people. No matter how ideal and beautiful the timetable is, if the executor can't do it, it is an invalid plan and a waste of time.

Only by managing your own behavior can you reap a better future.

As Sharast said, "Everyone is the architect of his own destiny."

Many times, we don't know what to do in one night, so we go to bed. Actually, it's because of boredom. If you have nothing to do, just play mobile phones and games to kill time.

The first task of self-management is to find your own goals. With goals, we can have the direction and motivation to work hard.

Eating Frogs by Tracy teaches us how to define our goals.

Step 1: Determine what you want to achieve within a time limit and write it down.

First of all, what do you want most? Have a good dialogue with yourself and list your long-term and short-term goals. At this time, we will find that we did not distinguish between what we want and what we need before.

It's okay not to buy what you want for the time being. Without them, we will only be sad for a while. What we need is always in front of us and will remind us. Like money.

Everyone's goal basically revolves around three aspects, individual, family and career. Think about these three aspects, what you want to achieve, set a deadline for yourself and write it down. Because a good memory is really not as good as a bad writing.

For example, my long-term goal is not to go to work and I want to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.

Step 2: List the things that must be done to achieve the goal and sort out the priorities.

In order to realize our lofty ideals, we must use our brains and think about how to achieve our goals faster and better. Brainstorm, even if it seems unrealistic, you can write it down.

For example, I want to achieve financial freedom. Save money, earn money, buy lottery tickets and rob banks. ...

But as a law-abiding citizen, robbing a bank is illegal, and the probability of buying lottery tickets is too low (although it is also a method). To sort it out, the most important thing is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. How to open source, how to cut expenditure, so brainstorm.

Finally, we can try a few things. Arrange these things according to the help to achieve the goal, such as making money: hard work, promotion and salary increase are the most basic, so rank an A; If you have the resources to do some small amateur business, you can rank B; If you make money, you must let Qian Shengqian learn to manage money, just a C.

Similarly, after sorting out the priorities of the to-do list, we need to improve our core skills for the most important things. For example, if you want a promotion and a raise, do you want to make PPT look better? Or improve performance? At every point, we can think separately.

Sometimes, it's not that we have nothing to do, but that we can't see anything to do.

Step 3: Take action and solve a small problem every day.

Rome was not built in a day. Everything needs us to finish step by step.

At this time, you should learn to eat frogs-pick the hard stubble first, that is, finish the hardest one first.

For us, the most difficult thing is actually the most helpful thing, which belongs to delicious but nutritious things.

Because it is difficult, there are challenges, and the ability will be improved after completion. Therefore, after finishing the most difficult thing, nothing can stum us, and everything else is easy.

Overcome the fear of difficulties and face them directly.

We are not robots, so we can't always do what we are told. When we are not rewarded, we will feel bored, disappointed and blame ourselves. At this time, we need self-motivation.

1, hope plum to quench thirst. We need to give ourselves a grand blueprint and imagine a beautiful picture after the task is completed or the dream is realized.

Napoleon once said: If a person wants to succeed, he must have clear goals, know what he wants, and have a strong desire to achieve this goal.

A beautiful blueprint is a strong desire we give ourselves. The more specific, the better. If you want to exercise, it is better to put on the mobile phone wallpaper of the goddess to motivate yourself; If you want to save money for a trip, when you visit the shopping website, just think about the beautiful scenery of the destination.

2. Optimism. Not only do you invest with an optimistic attitude, but more importantly, even if you fail, you should learn from it and let yourself grow. People who can't kill you will eventually make you strong.

This is my inspiration from Born Tracy's Eat Frogs.

In fact, whether we eat our favorite food first or the most annoying frog first, we can have more choices in life and get closer to our imaginary life.
