"Whats not to love about this time-proven technique to enhance productivity through complete focus!" Eric B.

Based upon Brian Tracys international, best-selling book and procrastination killer, Eat That Frog!

The key to reaching high levels of performance and productivity is to develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing each morning. The key is to eat your "Ugliest" Frog BEFORE you do anything else, and without taking too much time to think about it.

The Truth About Frogs
Mark Twain once said that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that it’s probably the worst thing youll have to do all day long.

Your "Frog" is your biggest, most important task. Its the one you are most likely to procrastinate on, even dread. Yet, it is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life and create positive results immediately.

With that in mind, "Eat That Frog,” the iPhone app, has been specifically designed and developed to ensure that your biggest priorities are handled with the urgency and focus required to make you most effective in your business and personal life.

Each day, youll be impressed with the momentum created from tackling your most difficult tasks, and at the end of each week and month, youll be amazed to see just how much youve completed!

Why use Eat That Frog?
There is no denying that it is our ability to focus on priorities and manage our time effectively which separates the high-achievers.

To that end, Eat That Frog! helps you to quickly establish and track your most important and impactful tasks throughout the each day.

HOW TO USE:
You can create as many tasks/Frogs as you like. However, there is a catch, you can only ACTIVATE ONE FROG AT A TIME.

NOTE: This is NOT a ToDo app - its a procrastination killer that enables pure focus.
Find out why this is the methodology used by the most productive people in the world.

Pros and cons of Brian Tracy's, Eat That Frog! app for iPhone and iPad

Brian Tracy's, Eat That Frog! app good for

This application has 3 key things that give it high marks from me: 1. Very useful. Effective lists help keep us on the right track! 2. Easy to use. Complicated tools get ignored. 3. Fun. Given a choice between fun and drab, wouldnt you choose the few seconds of fun? I believe those who choose to use this app will reap benefits ... as I have found with every other Brian Tracey product I have put to good use!
If you want to get things done on time, this is for you. The report feature is great for tracking your commitment to eliminating procrastination. Read "about" first!
Eat that frog is the breakfast for all action minded success seekers. This allows you to start your day with the most important items that you know must get done first.
I have been a Brian Tracy fan for years and his book "Eat That Frog" changed my life. I am so excited that they have released an iPhone application to go along with it! Its a great way to keep track of and eliminate those daunting daily tasks that we all tend to put off. Its time for everyone to "Eat That Frog." Thanks Brian!
I *love* this application! It brightens my day an has enhanced my productivity meaningfully. I would strongly recommend this to anyone.
I have been listening or reading Brian Tracys material for the last 26 years, this App is a wonderful implementation of Brians practical wisdom. Bravo!

Some bad moments

Poorly written programme code. Good idea, bad realisation. Really disappointing. Good Luck.
Love the concept but everytime my frog eats my task, it wont show my list until I go out of the app and then go back in. Not worth the money. Also, when I go to view the chart, the "about" section is in the background and only works when I go out of the app and then go back in. Very annoying.
I was totally excited to purchase this app, as the graphics and design looked slick on the screen shots. After using this program for a few days, I am very disappointed with its user interface. The program is not very intuitive. For the average user, I think this app is good, however, for the more demanding UI savvy user, this program is not up to par. The app always opens up to the "information/about" page and does not possess a memory so that it opens to the page that you last left it at. How often does one go to the info/about section that the developer assumes you want to open to this page each time? Also, the way the program is laid out and the schematics on how to add tasks is very confusing and certainly not logical. Overall, Im said I spent the money on this app. I hope for updates from the developer in the future.
I purchased this app with high hopes. I like Brian Tracys idea of completing your most difficult task ( eat the frog) and you are already on your way to having a productive day. I think this app is wonderful for this purpose if it actually worked. I have been able to enter a task and activate it. Beyond that application is very buggy. If you open up the tracking screen the font is garbled and illegible. if you go to the settings window that entire screen is blank and theres no way to adjust any settings. More disconcerting is if you enter in an item and dont activate it there is no way to view that item or a way to activated later. The concept behind all of the applications from Equilibrium Enterprises are excellent ideas in concept. I use the Habit Factor application which is currently working but is not the most intuitive iPhone app Ive ever used. Im just disappointed that these apps that have so much potential would only have to function to be very valuable. On that note the Habit Factor works but if the developer is not going to put the time in Brian Tracys Eat That Frog to have this app function properly they should not continue to sell it. Even more disappointing is I am unable to find any place on the developers website to actually contact them for support. Extremely disappointing,
Complete waste of money. It would seem like the app would mirror his book of the same title. Its does NOT. The description doesnt give accurate information about this app. Too bad I bought this app. Its useless to me.
