that frog summary:
A close
metaphor may be 'killing a cat'.
At various
stages in each of our lives, numerous cats of various kinds enter, generate,
and inhibit the passion for action.
In order to
succeed in career and life, the right cat should be killed at the right time,
or the cat should be chased away.
'Eat that
frog', eating a frog or killing a cat is very important.
That which
becomes a mental obstacle in our way to start something new, to fulfill our
goals, to succeed in our career, personal life is a 'frog' or a 'cat'.
Following
some tried-and-tested methods or approaches to overcome these obstacles can
lead to success.
For some,
this obstacle is only alchemy or long-term.
For some,
lack of courage to start, indecisiveness about which to start first or later or
various forms of unnecessary fear of failure.
However, in
the right way, these problems cannot become a big obstacle in moving forward.
Italian
economist
Vilfredo
Pareto formulated the Pareto theory to explain the classification of economics.
He said that
20% of the exploiters have economic and power dominance over 80% of the
population.
The % here is very metaphorical.
It can be
more or less.
Surprisingly,
this 80%-20% rule is more applicable in life management.
The
important 20% of all work will bring 80% of your success.
The remaining 80% of the work is of low value,
which will bring you a whopping 20% of success.
It may be
that all tasks take equal time.
But not all tasks need to be considered
equally important.
Prioritizing
the 20% of tasks that are most useful for improving your job, business or life
will ensure your success.
Unsuccessful
people don't know when to do things according to their priorities.
Spending
more labor on less important tasks yields little gain.
Another such
method for working with priority focus is the ABCDE method.
A is the
important work that must be done, otherwise there will be danger.
If there are
more than one such work in hand, it will be A1, A2, A3 etc.
One should
never proceed to B class work without completing these.
B are those
things that should be done but not done will cause minor problems.
C is the
work that is not good if not done well.
Financial or
organizational capacity to outsource work,
You should
never waste your time on them, they are Class D (Delegation) work. And some
things we do out of habit, there is no special benefit,
These can be
classified as E (elimination). This is the easiest way to do the work on time.
If you have
to eat a frog, which frog should you eat first? - the one that is the ugliest,
scariest or most unappetizing.
That is, if there are multiple important tasks of the same level, the most
difficult and challenging should be started and finished first.
Before work
we need to create the right environment. So that you don't have to rush for
anything necessary during work.
Daily work plan should be done before that day
or in the morning at the beginning of the day.
There should be a list of possible obstacles.
Instead of starting
all at once, one step at a time will yield the most results.
In the
modern era, multi-tasking sounds appealing but results less.
You should work by setting your own deadlines or targets.
They are a
habit.
If these
kinds of habits are practiced for a long time, they accumulate in the memory of
our neurons.
You don't
have to list them later with difficulty, comes automatically.
That is, the good habits you cultivate are your success, the bad habits are the
ladder of your failure.
The
well-practiced practice of killing a cat or eating a frog at the right time
will bring you success.
