Eat the Frog Notepad - Productivity

Do you need a simple, practical way to prioritise tasks for the day?

Have you heard the saying "Eat the Frog?". Attested to Brian Tracy and Mark Twain, the concept refers to the idea of tackling the hardest or least appealing job, FIRST.

The 'eat the frog' concept promotes success, motivation, and focus for the rest of your day, by establishing a habit of intention. 

The beauty of a notepad? 
Keep clutter (desk and mind) to a minimum – at the end of the day, transfer anything unfinished to the next page – tear off the current page and throw it away 😊

Start your day with a plan:
•    Focus on one task at a time
•    Maintain focus
•    Lean into a structured routine
•    Support consistency
•    Reduce decision making fatigue

A6 size: 
•    Decreases overwhelm with a simple layout
•    Facilitates short breaks for improved productivity 
•    Break down activities for prioritising and planning - either one big task, or many smaller tasks

A6 x50 page notepad posted to you: 
•    Same design on every page, add your own pen pop of colour 
•    Little frog hands cheering you on
•    Circles to tick with satisfaction as you go
•    Lines to break down smaller parts of the biggest task (frog), or separate remaining daily tasks
•    Backing - board

The Blue Brolly Paper handmade journey:
1.    Each design is carefully hand-drawn with pencil + paper
2.    I then draft + tweak my drawings using graphic design software
3.    Quality 100 gsm paper + printing options are chosen for each artwork
4.    My artwork is then printed professionally in small batches by a Sydney business, NSW
5.    Each pad is checked + mindfully packed by me, using all Australian business supplies

Sometimes we need different tools for different daily tasks.
I’d love to hear which one works for you.
