It’s here! We’re finally able to announce that our exclusive add-on feature of Brian Tracy’s legendary ‘Eat That Frog,’ is now available from within our brand new add-on store. Inspired by international bestselling author and leadership expert, Brian Tracy, the ‘Eat That Frog’ concept delves deep into what’s vital for achieving effective time management by focusing on completing key tasks in your schedule. Tracy’s aim is to help you develop the daily habit of spending time on the tasks that will have the greatest positive impact on your life, and ensure that you get the right things done at the beginning of your day.
Watch our video below to hear from Brian Tracy himself to see how by tackling your Frog task first thing in the morning, can help you achieve all of the things you’re used to pushing aside and go through your day with a hint of satisfaction knowing that the worst part of your day is over.
‘A great life or great career is built by performing one task at a time.’
1. Identify your obstacles and limiting factor
Why is it that there are certain tasks that we can’t shake off our never ending to-do list? With the ‘Eat That Frog’ add-on feature, you’ll be able to reevaluate your to-do’s, to see if you’re making the best use of your time and whether your focus is on the tasks which contribute most to reaching your end goals. It’s true when they say that the most difficult tasks reap the most rewards, with ‘Eat That Frog’ you’ll be able to spend more of your time working on the areas that really make a significant difference to your workload.
‘Your success and work in life will be determined by the kinds of habits that you develop over time.’
2. Work a little harder
More often than not, we get distracted and taken away from our important task at hand. Fear not, with our add-on Frog feature, you’ll receive prompts throughout your day in case you lose focus, to ensure you’re still on track to complete your frog task. As Brian states: the key to reaching the highest levels of productivity and performance, is developing the ‘lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing in the morning.’ And if it still seems a little daunting, why not break your task down into smaller, more manageable pieces with our Checklist feature, helping you to view your progress and to identify how far until your to-do’s turn into being done.
‘Successful completion of any task makes you feel more positive, personable, creative and confident.’
3. Motivate yourself to achieve
The key to ultimate success is taking action. The truth is, the most successful people don’t wait around to get things done, they get started on them right away. By implementing ‘Eat That Frog’ into your daily routine, you’ll enhance your productive output and constantly remain on top of your key Tasks and feel a considerable lighter load away from the heavy task that was previously weighing you down.

Now, all that’s left to do is wait for tomorrow morning where the first thing on your mind will be… ‘What is my Frog task for today?’
