If content creation feels heavy and you’re constantly pushing important tasks to the bottom of your list, this post is for you.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by everything you “should” be doing or you just want to hit record and walk away, here’s the truth:
The task you keep avoiding is the one that’s costing you the most.
Let’s talk about the frogs on your to-do list and why doing the hard thing first can help you finally create consistent content that supports both your business and your mission.
When Procrastination Derails Your Content
A few years ago, my sister Alyssa sent me a snap of her to-do list. Most of it was crossed off, but there were two tasks left untouched—and she used a crying emoji to tell me exactly how she felt about it.
Her words?
“I’ve done all the easy things, but these two? I just can’t get myself to start.”
Sound familiar?
These weren’t even long tasks. But they felt mentally heavy, so she kept putting them off all day. And by the time 3:00 rolled around, she felt frustrated and defeated, even though her list was mostly done.
That’s when big sister mode kicked in. I sent her a video and said:
“You have to eat your frogs first thing in the morning.”
What Does It Mean to Eat the Frog?
This idea comes from Brian Tracy’s book Eat That Frog, which is based on a quote from Mark Twain:
“Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.”
In other words:
Do the hardest thing first.
The task you’re dreading? Tackle it before anything else—when your energy is fresh and your brain is clear.
Because once it’s done, you’re free. The mental clutter disappears. And that one move can unlock real momentum in your content and your business.
Why You’re Avoiding Your Frogs
If you’re a faith-led health or wellness coach, you’re not avoiding content because you don’t care.
You’re deeply committed to your clients’ transformation. You’re showing up, serving well, and doing business from a place of purpose.
But let’s be honest—your content feels like a hot mess express.
Maybe for you, content just feels heavy. You’re multi-passionate, balancing client work, family life, and about a hundred tabs open in your brain.
You know consistency matters—but getting ahead on content? That feels impossible.
Or maybe you love recording your podcast. That part lights you up. You’re using your voice, sharing what God’s put on your heart, and showing up for your people.
But the second you hit stop, you feel drained.
Now there’s the
blog post,
the email,
the social posts,
the graphics…
Honestly, you just want to drop the mic and walk away.
In both cases?
The problem is the same: procrastinating on the frogs—the mentally heavy tasks that pile up and weigh you down.
But there’s good news: it doesn’t have to stay that way.
3 Ways to Start Eating the Frog
Whether content feels overwhelming, disorganized, or just never-ending, here are three practical ways to stop procrastinating and move forward.
1. Start Small—Just 5 Minutes
You don’t have to do the whole thing today.
Just open the file. Outline the idea. Record the intro.
The hardest part is getting into motion.
Give yourself five minutes to start—and that’s often all you need to get past the resistance.
2. Let Someone Else Get It Started
If you have a VA or even a friend helping you, ask them to prep the task for you.
As an OBM, I’ve done this for years—organize the project, drop in a template, create a draft. Even if my client redoes it completely, the burden of starting is gone.
You don’t have to carry the whole load alone.
3. Let AI Help You Get Unstuck
If your frog is a blank Google Doc staring back at you, AI can help.
Use it to generate an outline, summarize a transcript, or create a rough draft.
You still shape it. You still bring your voice.
But instead of starting from scratch, you’re editing and refining—which is way easier than building from zero.
And if you’re curious how I use AI to repurpose content for my clients or write drafts quickly, send me a DM on Instagram. I’d love to share.
What’s Your Frog?
Right now, I want you to think about one task you’ve been avoiding.
What’s weighing you down?
What’s stealing your clarity or breaking your content rhythm?
Just give it five minutes today.
That’s it. Start small. You’ll be surprised how quickly consistency starts showing up once you get out of overwhelm and into action.
