If you have more than one A task you prioritize these tasks by writing "A-1", "A-2", "A-3" and so on.

Your A-1 task is the biggest and ugliest frog of all.

A "B" task is the one that you should do but it has only mild consequences. These are the tadpoles of your work life. This means that someone may be unhappy or inconvenienced if you don’t do one of these tasks but it is nowhere as important as an "A" task.

The rule is that you should never do a "B" task when an "A" task is left undone. you should never be distracted by the tadpole when the big frog is sitting right there waiting to be eaten.

Finish your tasks

After you start working on a frog, continue working on it until you can take it off of your to-do list.

To do this effectively, you'll need to make sure you have tasks that are small enough to complete in one sitting. Also, make sure you have time blocked to work on your task.
