Eating the Frog
The first few hours after waking is the time when your brain is at its sharpest and you’re more likely to stay on task. That’s why you need to focus during early hours on the highest-priority items of your to-do list.
During that time, tackle important tasks and projects while holding off on emails, calls, and texts until lunchtime.

The distractions of daily communication
Handle email and communication to stay productive:
- Be concise in every response to reduce the time spent on communication.
- If a response has the potential to require a discussion, make it a phone call instead.
- Schedule time for emails. Leaving the email open all day creates constant distractions.
- Only spend time on communication when it’s scheduled. Block out small windows throughout the day to respond.
- Hire a full-time or virtual assistant to handle your communications for you.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
