Luckily, you can practice self-regulation, even if it's not one of your best skills.
Mark Twain once said, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of day."
Author Brian Tracy took this to mean, do the thing you want to do the least, first, and the rest of your day will be easier.
It's a really good idea to deal with the things you hate first thing in the morning. This will make you more productive and will free the rest of the day up – without the dark cloud over your head for the rest of the day, week or month.
A great way to make this a habit is to give yourself a reward after completing the onerous task. Maybe you tie your morning coffee break to completing your worst task of the day; you don't get to stop for a cuppa until you're done. It can also help to identify the task the night before, so you don't waste time wondering what you should be doing.
Deal with the difficult things first, and you will not only be more productive, you'll be more successful, because you'll be easily surpassing those people who never eat their frogs or wait until the last possible minute.
