🐸 So… What Is “Eat That Frog” Anyway?

Brian Tracy uses a fun idea inspired by Mark Twain:
“If you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, the rest of the day will be easy.”

Your frog = the biggest, toughest, most important task of the day.
The one you are most likely to procrastinate on.
The exam chapter you avoid, the assignment you delay, the revision you skip.

The rule?
👉 Eat the frog first.
Do your biggest task before you touch your phone, reels, or easier assignments.

Eat That Frog! doesn't just manage time; it manages attention—the real currency of the digital age.

📝 Key Lessons Students Can Use Immediately

🐸Do the Hardest Task First

  • Start your day by completing the subject or chapter you dislike the most.

  • Your productivity skyrockets when you finish the worst task early.

📋Plan Your Day the Night Before

  • Wake up with clarity, not confusion.

  • A simple to-do list reduces stress.

🎯Follow the ABCDE Prioritization Method

  • A – Must Do (your frog): The Frog (e.g., studying for a test, writing a paper). Consequences are serious if not done.

  • B – Should Do: Important tasks, but minor consequences if delayed (e.g., checking lecture notes).

  • C – Nice to Do: Non-essential tasks (e.g., hobbies, watching a documentary). No consequences if not done.

  • D – Delegate: Can you pass it off? (Less applicable to students, but think group work!).

  • E – Eliminate: Tasks you can drop entirely, like pointless habits or excessive screen time.

👉Never start a “B” task before finishing all “A” tasks.

⏰Apply the 80/20 Rule

  • 20% of your study tasks give 80% of your exam results.

  • Identify those key chapters and focus on them first.

🚫Stop Multitasking

  • One task → complete attention → better results in less time.

🧰Prepare Before You Begin

  • Keep everything ready: textbooks, stationery, water, calculator.

  • Most distractions begin when you get up “just for a minute.”

📵 How This Book Actually Helps You Beat Screen Addiction

Students often lose hours without realizing it. Here’s how Tracy’s methods help:

  • Set tomorrow’s frog today → reduces morning scrolling

  • Time block your frog → 90 minutes of deep focus

  • Keep your phone in another room → instant productivity

  • Reward yourself after finishing the frog → guilt-free screen time

  • Daily review → builds motivation and progress

🌱 How the Book Helps You Grow Beyond Academics

  • Reduces exam anxiety

  • Improves decision-making

  • Encourages self-discipline
