Another great video. I love the approach as it gets into the philosophy of using a tool such as ToDoist and not just an overview of the features. Most of the videos on Productivity tools just go over the features and provide ideas for set and use without showing the thinking behind how to use it. As a technical writer who writes SOPs, User Guides, and Knowledge Base articles I understand the need for the backend philosophy of the content. I have recently started viewing these videos and in the short time that I have I have learned more and also receive the spark that allows me to configure a method and not just the tool. Good Job, this is one of the reasons why I like ToDoist.

Didn't think about the email and messages I look at and respond to messing up the start of my day by making me reactive, so I think those will go at the end of my day now. Thank you for the insight!!

I think I have discovered the best channel for productivity content. Now, it is time to implement.

Hi Naomi: I love your videos and I am an avid reader of everything related to productivity. Regarding "eat the frog", everybody can define the most important task for the next day, but I think we must to look at the emails as the first task, since there may be an email that changes the priorities of the day and that task that was established as the most important thing may no longer be so.

I’ve been learning alot about productivity, the science of habits and ADHD in the last years and I didn’t try this method despite knowing the concept for a while (I guess I’ve been procrastinating on it lol). I’m confident that I reached that point where I need it. Thank you for sharing it.

Such an amazing video! I've been procrastinating with my bachelor's thesis work for weeks and I'm going to implement this method into my daily routine! Thanks! ❤

I definitely needed this video. I believe I have the book called "Eat the frog", so it truly brings it home. Between eating the frog and taming my gremlin, I just need to get the thing done & stop making it more than what it is in the long run.

Thanks for Naomi’s clear description of this method👏🏼

Really enjoy your overviews of the techniques, especially the "use this if you are one of these types". Keep up the great work.

Brilliantly communicated, fun to watch, inspiring. Love the setting, tone and of course, captivating host. Thank you for helping people realise that their dream can become a reality; once "bite" at a time. Plus, love bloopers :)

Great video! Thank you so much. I think this is exactly what I need to do.

Having a 1hr eat the frog spotify playlist helps i like deep focus house playlist and make sure you have water and a light snack nearby it also depends on the time of day pick a time of day you have at least 3 free hours in your day so its manageable and break down tasks into your time block calendar label anything over 1hr in a specific colour

Have heard of this before but this explanation is the best explanation description that compels me to try it. Got a frog in mind to eat tomorrow. Am going to try give the frog identifying the night before and the eating off the next day for a few weeks to see what the overall influence is.

Going to go for a cold shower before the Frog Eating task which I hope isn't a cop out - thinking it's a good idea to help cut through the morning version of myself not feeling the exact same as the night version of me planning this right now.

Would've loved the video to elaborate on the expectable state of being post the frog eating but perhaps is wiser that its somewhat vague on that so individuals can discover what they're own result are post 'carpe Ranae' & 'Ranae manducare!'
😬🤤🐸

Gosh its nice to see a little personality on these kind of corporate instructional videos.

[jacquelinechurch]

It makes sense from the standpoint of one having the most rest, freshest mind.

Skipping messages in the morning can be problematic. You need to at least skim them to make sure there’s nothing urgent in there.

What if I have 2 tasks to do when I’m using eat the frog

Awesome video, I need to start eating a frog everyday…
