What’s the best way to make your day more productive?

Break it down.

You may not be able to eat the whole frog in one morning. (In most cases, the overwhelming size of the task is part of the reason you’ve been putting it off.) Instead, break the job down into smaller parts. For example, if you’re putting off getting your financial documents ready to apply for a bank loan, think about every step involved, such as updating your accounting data, inputting your expense receipts, making an appointment to meet with your accountant, etc. Spread the smaller tasks out so that you do a few of them each day (until your “frog-eating” time has been used up). You’ll make a little progress every day. As you chip away at the frog, it will become less intimidating to you, and you’ll gain momentum as you see the end of the task in sight.
