"Eat the frog" is an idiomatic expression resurrected by a best-selling self-help book published in 2001. It is in fact an excerpt from a sentence originally written by the novelist Mark Twain, "If your task is to eat a frog, you'd better do it first thing in the morning. And if your job is to eat two frogs, you'd better eat the biggest one first." This piece reflects Francisco Correia interest in the intrusion of economics into the structures of everyday life, particularly at the level of language. In this case, it is an act of appropriation of a phrase written to fulfill a fictitious objective, which was then transformed into a slogan encouraging productivity at work.
