Why eat the frog?
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.
