‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain

One of my favorite things about Jane Austen is that she knew the real fear wasn’t running into some terrifying Frenchman or finding your lover’s wife in the attic…it was having to spend time with someone who is slighter cooler than you are, or playing piano in front of a critical audience, or thinking a picnic will be the perfect time for your jokes but then it isn’t

sorry for not posting any original content for a while! i needed a bit of time to ‘recover’ from my finals, because they required a LOT of energy from me. i was so nervous for my last exam that i couldn’t fall asleep and maybe slept 1 hour that night, aha 😅  so now i’ve spent my days reading, sleeping and basically enjoying life without having to think about watching classes or worrying about deadlines

also thanks for all the birthday wishes, means a lot ! 🥳

Day 20/100

I’ve moved on from complicated bullet journal spreads over the years even though I loved going through them at the end of the year. The slight dread I felt at the end of every month because it would take hours to set up the monthly spread and the following guilt when it didn’t look perfect was too much. Now I just write down what I need to look at and add some colour if I feel like it. Also, look at that pretty iced coffee!
