WELCOME TO INSPIRATION NATION
WHERE WE WILL REVIEW 1 chapter of Brian Tracey’s book, “Eat That Frog” each day in FABruary
The Cliff Notes from today’s reading:
“Chapter 18: SLICE & DICE THE TASK“
One technique to use to cut big tasks down to size is the “salami slice” method. Lay out the tasks in detail and then resolve to do just 1 slice of the job for the time being, like eating a roll of salami, just one slice at a time.
1: DEVELOP A COMPULSION TO CLOSURE
Deep within us all is an “compulsion for closure”. Do you feel better or relieved once you’ve completed a task (big or small). Endorphins are released, and the bigger the task the greater the feeling of accomplishment. Develop that inner drive that motivates you to carry through to completion.
2: SWISS CHEESE YOUR TASKS
Another technique is “swiss cheesing” a task by resolving to work on the task for a specified period of time. This may be just 5 or 10 minutes, then stop and do something else. The power of this method is once you start working, you develop a sense of forward movement and a feeling of accomplishment!
KEY TAKE-A-WAYS from Chapter 18: SLICE & DICE THE TASKS
1. The salami slicing and Swiss cheesing methods are great tools to help you bust out of your procrastination funk!
2. Once you start working on the task and feeling accomplished you will do more than you planned to do!
3. Fight the urge to just do NOTHING. Start with small pieces of work or small period of time.
4. Taking action is key to success. You cant just continue to THINK about what you need to do!!

I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!
While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
Both methods are for housework, running errands, the kids homework/projects. I didn’t know there is a name for both. These methods are little treats for working toward completing tasks.
I think everyone is a fan of starting,completing goals in small parts to finish them on time. I always feel good once my goals are completed and it eleviates stress. Depending on what it is I celebrate and reward myself 😁
