Eat the Frog


So the saying goes, 'If you eat a frog first thing in the morning, the rest of the day will go quite a bit better'.

I started doing this lately and I tell ya, I've become a fan.

Reading between the lines, do the crappy jobs first thing to start your day, you know, the stuff you really hate doing. Gives a bit of momentum and energy for the rest of the day.

Eat the vegetables first, and the rest of the meal is always better

Just like changing spark plugs.

Do the hard side first, the rest is easy.

Eat the 'Opihi

Looks like a slug with a shell.

Tastes really Ono(delicious).

Fits the theme of this thread, very hard to harvest.

Mostly living on wave thrashed rocks at the oceans edge.

You need to scrape these off the rocks in one movement.

If you don't, they lock on to the rock like a rare earth magnet to steel.

Kawaihae, Hawai‘i -- ‘Opihi

Great with poi!
