Eat the Frog Method
The "Eat the Frog" method is a time management and productivity technique that encourages you to identify your biggest, most challenging task each day—your "frog"—and complete it early in your workday before anything else. The term was coined by Brian Tracy in his 2001 book "Eat That Frog: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time."
The phrase originates from a quote 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 if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."
You're most likely to have more energy and motivation in the mornings—about two hours after we wake up, we are at peak energy, focus, and motivation. Taking an "Eat the Frog" approach can lessen anxiety around cumbersome tasks and help you keep tabs on your top priorities without wondering late at night how you'll get it all done.
Frog tasks generally take longer than average tasks—try to target tasks that take longer than one hour but no more than three hours, as anything longer should be broken down into smaller tasks. The frog should have the biggest positive impact on your goals if completed.
