Eat That Frog: A Simple Time Hack for Happier, Stronger Teachers
Beat procrastination and boost focus with the “eat that frog” method—tailored for teachers. Listen now for simple time management that works.
Teachers, what’s your frog today?
You know the one — that task you’ve been avoiding that’s quietly stealing your energy all day long. It might be a pile of grading, a parent email, or tomorrow’s lesson plan you keep pushing off. That “frog” is more than a to-do item — it’s a source of stress and distraction.
But what if tackling it first thing in the morning could shift your whole day?
In this week’s episode of the Why Edify Podcast, I dive into the powerful metaphor of eating the frog, inspired by a quote from Mark Twain and expanded in Brian Tracy’s book Eat That Frog. It’s a simple yet transformative approach to time management that helps educators reclaim their focus, momentum, and peace of mind.
