S2-E7 Eat the Frog First
Jill: What I ended up doing was classifying all of the hundreds of tools that I've learned into four different categories, and I developed a quiz so that people can easily find out which archetype that they are. In terms of how they manage their time best, and then give them tools that are going to actually work for them. Because what happens is that we hear about something on a podcast or in a book and we try it and then if it doesn't work for us we get defeated and we think it's us and we're like, “Well, that's just more proof that I can't, can't do it.” And that's not the case. It's just, you need the right tools.
