Each small step forward energizes you. You soon develop an inner drive that motivates you to carry through to completion."

"The bigger the task you start and complete,

the better and more elated you feel.

The bigger the frog you eat, the greater the surge of personal power and energy you experience."

"You have deep within you an "urge to completion".

This means that you actually feel happier and more powerful when you start and complete a task of any kind.

You satisfy a deep subconscious need to bring finality to a job or project."

"Psychologically, you will find it easier to do a single, small piece of a large project than to start on the whole job.

Often, once you have started and completed a single part of the job, you will feel like doing just one more slice."

"The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread,

but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament,

until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably, in thought and act."

A simple way to double your productivity.

1. Plan each day in advance, select your most important task, and then start on that task first thing.

2. Work nonstop for 90 min with no distraction, and then give yourself a 15 minute break.

3. Start again and work another 90 min.

"Whenever you are in a meeting with one or more people,

leave electronic devices off.

Pay 100 percent attention to other people.

This applies at home as well."

"Stop the stimulations that trigger the flow of dopamine and lead to continuous interruptions."

"If you must check your e-mail for any reason,

get in and out fast,

and get back to work.

Turn off the sound on your computer, and put your phone on "vibrate.""

--Eat That Frog

"After an interruption, it takes about 17 minutes to shift your attention back to your task and continue working.

Hence many people are working harder and harder, shifting from e-mail interruptions to work, and getting less and less accomplished."

"When you start your day with a few shots of dopamine triggered by your e-mail or IM bell going off,

you find it extremely difficult to pay close attention to your important tasks for the rest of the day."

"Focused attention is the key to high performance.

The "attraction of distraction," the lure of electronic and other interruptions, leads to diffused attention,

a wandering mind, a lack of focus, and,

ultimately, underachievement and failure."

"Your digital to-do list (otherwise known as "task management software") is a powerful tool for taking control of your time.

It has all the positives of a paper to-do list plus a few additional features."
