Eating Live Frogs: Do the Worst Thing First
Time commitment to get started: Low
Type: Abstract
Perfect for people who: Tend to put off important items, resulting in missed deadlines or rushed work.
What it does: Helps to avoid procrastination while ensuring that you make progress on the right things.

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!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
