Eat the Frog: Why Hard Tasks Should Come First

Students usually start with the easy part — notes to highlight, headings to rewrite, pages to number. But productivity research shows the opposite works better.

Do the hard thing first.

When the most difficult task is tackled early:

✔ Stress decreases

✔ Motivation increases

✔ Productivity skyrockets

✔ Confidence builds instantly

Hard-first learning trains resilience.

By 20 minutes into study, the toughest part is already behind you.
