Today I'd like to recommend a book I've never read or even held in my hand. I wholeheartedly recommend Eat That Frog anyway, because I've learned a lot from the title and the book's basic premise:An old saying is that "If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long!" Your "FROG" is the one you are most likely to procrastinate on if you don't do something about it now! It is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life and results at the moment.
In terms of organization, here is what we have said so far: I. use the system that works for you, II. delegate to others, III. do the right things and now today principle IV.: do the difficult things first. Procarastination will surely erode your personal organization, so avoid it at all costs. If you are still overwhelmed, and feel like there are too many difficult things to do in your life, consider this bit of wisdom:
It has also been said that "If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first!"
No frogs were harmed in the research and publishing of this post.

Do you have to eat the whole frog or do just the legs count?
if you procrastinate about chowing down on the frog guts, you are still procrastinating and by the way, we're talking a live frog, not deep fried. -Todd
