eat the frog (time management)

"eat the frog" is a popular time management technique that comes from a quote attributed to mark twain: "eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." in the context of productivity, the "frog" represents your most challenging or important task of the day—the one you're most likely to procrastinate on.

how to implement the "eat the frog" technique:

identify your frog: at the start of each day, determine the most crucial task you need to accomplish. this should be something that has a significant impact on your goals but may not be the most enjoyable or easy task.

tackle it first: instead of putting it off, focus on completing this task before anything else. by tackling it first, you can get it out of the way and prevent procrastination.

break it down: if the task seems overwhelming, break it into smaller, manageable steps. this makes it less daunting and allows you to make steady progress.

avoid distractions: minimize distractions while you're working on your "frog." turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and create a focused work environment.

reward yourself: once you've completed the task, reward yourself with a break or something enjoyable. this positive reinforcement can help build a habit of tackling challenging tasks first.

why it's effective:

reduces procrastination: by tackling the hardest task first, you eliminate the temptation to procrastinate and delay important work.

boosts productivity: completing a significant task early in the day can give you a sense of accomplishment and momentum to tackle the rest of your to-do list.

improves focus: knowing that you have to address the most important task first can sharpen your focus and attention.

stress reduction: getting the most daunting task out of the way can reduce stress and mental burden, making the rest of the day feel more manageable.

remember, the key is to prioritize your most important tasks and tackle them head-on. if you have any specific tasks in mind or need help with prioritizing, feel free to share!

Unleashing Focus: How Pomodoro Transformed My Procrastination Habits

Hey fellow students! 👋 Today, I'm sharing a study game-changer that turned my procrastination habits around : the Pomodoro Technique. As a second-year electrical engineering student, I've faced the challenges of balancing coursework, labs, and exams. The Pomodoro Technique has been my secret weapon, significantly improving my focus, productivity, and overall academic performance.

Overcoming Procrastination

I used to be a notorious procrastinator. The daunting size of tasks overwhelmed me, leading to delayed assignments and last-minute cramming. Enter Pomodoro, and everything changed.

Pomodoro in Action

Here's how I apply the Pomodoro Technique to overcome procrastination and boost my grades:

Clear Goals: Before each study session, I set specific tasks or topics to cover during the Pomodoro intervals.

Timed Focus: Using a simple timer app, I dive into focused 25-minute (up to 50 minutes) study sessions, eliminating distractions and boosting productivity.

Short Breaks: After each Pomodoro, I take a 5 or 10-minute break to refresh my mind, stretch, or grab a quick snack.

Longer Breaks: Every four Pomodoros, I reward myself with a 15-30 minute break to fully recharge.

Results Speak Louder

Since adopting the Pomodoro Technique, my grades have seen a remarkable improvement. The structured approach transformed me from a procrastinator into a focused and efficient learner.

If you're battling procrastination and seeking a study routine that works, give the Pomodoro Technique a shot. It's not about the quantity of study hours but the quality of focused learning.

To keep myself motivated and help other students, I recorded my study sessions using this technique and made them available online. You can check my channel if you’d like to give it a try.

Try it out, and let me know how Pomodoro works for you! Happy studying! 📚💡

Why does studying feel like a chore sometimes?

Hi everyone, today I want to talk about the fact that sometimes studying really feels tedious, even if it's something you enjoy and even if it's not bound to deadlines imposed by school or university.

I personally experienced this during the first lockdowns in the pandemic. I had a lot of free time because I was home, but I could not start studying Korean to save my life, I was literally forgetting about it. Indeed, I ended up putting it off until I completed my Master's degree in 2024.

I was not taking it lightheartedly: it was supposed to be something I enjoyed, yet why was I procrastinating it so hard that I was forgetting its entire existence?

🤔The possible answers to my case

Now, I'm not good at self-acceptance, but I tried thinking about all the possibilities without beating myself up, but also while maintaining some objectivity:

We were all home, but it was not a normal time. It was a time where nobody would have known how the future would have been and this could have definitely stressed out our brains.

I was still in university, which meant that I had different priorities at the time. Sum it up with the aforementioned stress, and it becomes much easier to put self-studying at the very last place of your mental list.

I had chosen a language that, for a native Italian speaker, was objectively difficult, because of how different it is (the two languages are not even in the same language macrogroup). Korean grammar also seems to appear very intricate for most language learners across the Internet, from what I've seen.

My attention span got objectively worse: in order to check the news, I was constantly scrolling either on Google or on social media, which made it harder for me to focus. My grades at university did not resent from it, but it made me harder to pick anything study-related outside of my uni workload.

The whole situation, as a result, has made me exhausted and quite detached from my interests and parts of my "identity" pre-pandemic, and I'm still trying to reconnect the pieces nowadays.

🌈 Is it over now?

I'm not sure that the situation is completely solved right now - I definitely do not forget about Korean anymore. However, I have also accepted that life happens and we do not have the same level of motivation every day, and that's okay.

I also implemented some strategies to ease the problem:

I committed to reducing harmful screentime and doomscrolling in order to fix my attention span;

I planned my exercises for every language in advance, so I do not have to stress over what has to be done;

I waited until the end of my university studies before picking up Korean again: sometimes, we're just too busy for the mental load that a certain hobby requires, so the best solution might also be to wait it out until you have more mental space.

I hope this post was useful in case someone had been feeling the same way recently. You got this!

If you have been through the same problem and solved it, how did you do it? Do you have any recommendation?
