Name the one most valuable thing you've accomplished so far today.

Every day I look at my ridonculous Trello board of 'to-dos' and I start chipping away at them but honestly I reckon 5% of those tasks actually deliver 95% of the value in the end.

It's so easy to get distracted by the tidying up jobs, the easy jobs, those jobs that make us feel 'busy and important' but really they're just maintenance.

So what is the single most valuable thing you've done so far today. The one task that actually propelled you forwards in your quest for [insert what your quest is here].

Did Scott in the Antarctic get up in the morning and think, ok, I'll just peruse Twitter for 30 minutes (you know, because I should right?), and then I'll polish my compass. No. He got up and said, right chaps. Which way is South?!

Some call it swallowing the frog because often the most valuable thing to be doing right is often the hardest.
