Mark Twain is often credited with saying,"Eat a live frog the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." (In truth, that was coined by Nicolas Chamfort and only linked to Mark Twain long after reports of Twain's death were no longer an exaggeration.) Provenance aside, that particular quote has been vigorously adopted in management training, self-help books and motivational speeches for at least the last decade, and it's time we retired it and moved past eating frogs. First off, if I ate a live frog first…

There is no doubt we are in unprecedented times. For most of us, this creates a heightened degree of stress and uncertainty. Over a third of the country has been asked to stay home and our once booming economy has come screeching to a halt. When can any of us remember being told by the government not to go to work?
