Wrestle the pig first, every day. Whatever is your worst, most unpleasant, annoying task for the entire day, do it before you do anything else. It minimizes your stress and worrying and puts it in the rearview mirror.
For a second I thought you were talking about masturbation.
Well yeah crank your hog first of course
SPEAK UP BROTHER, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MY CRANKED HOG

Rocko?

simultaneous phone slam
There was also that one that was cut from the camping episode.
Rocko is foraging for berries and he grabs one on a bush and the bush recoils and you hear a bear growl. Then a bear jumps out from behind the bush grabbing his crotch and running away in obvious pain.
Choke the chicken.

Ok, I wrestled a cop and pinned him. What’s step 2? Please respond before his backup arrives.
I think you're supposed to tickle his balls now.
Alternatively, if you’re neurodivergent you may have a better time doing the easiest tasks first to build momentum and motivation.
Yeah, everyone’s neurochemistry is different and should be experimented with.
I didn’t know this for so long, that I needed a few easy wins to set the pace, that I feel like I could have been way more productive throughout my 20s haha
Human memory is bias towards most recent things in a group set. If your set is a "workout" or a "workday", doing the fun stuff last will affect positively all the memory items in the same group set. This works even if you know that your memory is doing this.
We don't live in a "present now". We live in a mental image constructed from memory of recent past.
Trick is not to do unpleasant stuff first, but to do pleasant stuff last.
My former mentor said: 80% of the deliverable is the 20% of the scope you really don't want to do
I feel like saying "I have to do this before anything else" might very well end with me doing nothing
I don't think "waking up early" counts, but it's definitely the most unpleasant and annoying task of my weekdays, followed closely by actually getting to work.
I always heard it as "Swallow a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day". Same meaning, and I think I like yours better.
I have some paperwork to do that will likely result in $2000. It's been over a year and i cannot just sit down and do it. I stress over it every day but continue to put it off.
Today. Let's both finish our paperwork today. The sense of freedom and achievement will be good.
Ok. I have a 2 hour car ride this afternoon. I will get everything ready this morning and do it in the car. Thanks! Good luck!
Excellent. I hope you did OK. I got mine done! It wasn't as bad as I thought. If you haven't finished yet, don't give up, pick up the pieces and carry on. Thanks for being my Internet buddy on this.
Congratulations! I didn't finish, but did get a good start on it. Thanks for the encouragement!
Well done. Starting is the hardest part. Are you going to do a bit more today?
I'm on vacation until Wednesday so I will finish it on my flight home. Getting started really was the hardest part. Now it's just putting numbers into boxes and adding them up. By gathering info and starting on it, i find that the expected $2k gain is closer to $10k. That's some great motivation to get it done!
Wishing good luck with the numbers into boxes bit and a safe flight home.
Thank you! Working on it now in the airport and should be able to finish it before i get home.
Excellent excellent.
- Excellent. Well done.
- Wow! Go for it!
I know this as 'eat your frogs'.
But where will I find a pig?
They’re easy to spot. They’re typically wearing cute little uniforms & driving fun little cars with lights on top.
Best advice ever.
