“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

Although Mark Twain’s “eating the frog” quote is rather weird, it has a solid message. After a full week of classes it is likely that you already have a list of to-dos on your planner, which might make you feel overwhelmed.

Tackling the easy tasks first and pushing off the more challenging work seems desirable, but it is more beneficial to start with the “bigger frog,” and reward yourself with the “little frog” later.
