Eat The Frog is built on one of the most battle-tested ideas in personal productivity: do your hardest, most important task first, before anything else. The name comes from a line often attributed to Mark Twain — "if it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning" — and was popularised as a productivity method by Brian Tracy in his book Eat That Frog!
Each day you set a single frog — one task that represents the most valuable use of your time. Not a list, not a project board. Get a gentle reminder in the morning, and a real deadline in the evening.
Already using Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do? Connect either one and pick your frog straight from your real task list — completing it in one place completes it in the other.
No lists, no projects — just the single task that matters most, front and centre every morning.
A gentle nudge at your reminder time, with snooze if you need a little longer.
If your frog isn't eaten by your cutoff time, it's marked missed and your streak resets — no cheating.
Line up tomorrow's frog whenever you like — it's always there waiting, not just a once-a-day prompt.
Track your longest run of consecutive eaten frogs, and watch the streak grow.
A quiet, collapsible record of every frog you've eaten — and the odd one you haven't.
Pick your frog straight from your existing task list. Complete it in either app and it's marked done in both.
