My frog today was finishing a project for week one that was given by my university instructor. The next frog now is to bulk create 10 blog articles for the year. Funny enough someone shared the book with me yesterday. I should read it.

This one is good, my frog today definitely is finishing a blog article that I started 2 weeks ago, then procrastinated finishing it for 2 weeks more.

I put it on as a todo for today!

The blog is about just showcasing my experience as a developer coach on my previous company, while its still fresh!

For those who are wondering what's the context here. It references the book "Eat That Frog" by Brain Tracy. It's a cool book to read about time management and procrastination.

I think the original context is from the American writer Mark Twain:
β€œEat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.”
