It is a book about how to overcome procrastination and get more done in less time by focusing on your most important tasks. The book title comes from a quote by 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.”
- The frog represents your biggest, most important task that you are most likely to procrastinate on. Eating the frog means tackling that task first thing in the morning and completing it before moving on to anything else.

Set clear, written goals and review them daily. - Plan your day in advance and work from a list.
