Stop Procrastinating

Get More of the Important Things Done--Today

There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do list--and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs.

There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task--but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life. Eat That Frog shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

In this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.

But one thing remains unchanged: Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline, and determination. This life-changing book will ensure that you get more of your important tasks done--today

The key is selective procrastination

Charles A. - 5 years 5 months ago

Nearly every person is faced with more work than can possibly be done in a day, even when you stretch it out long into the night. As Tracy points out more than once and rather effectively, the key is not to avoid putting things off, but to properly prioritize your tasks and delay doing those things that are not immediately critical. The famous and nearly always true Pareto 80/20 rule is repeated many times. Since 80 percent of your gain will be a consequence of 20 percent of your work, it is foolish not to identify and act on the 20 percent. There is really nothing new or originally stated in this book. Yet, that is not a criticism or an argument against reading it. The reality is that good ideas and advice need to be hammered home over and over again if it is to ever be fully implemented. It reads quick and light, even though the content is valuable and worthy of repeating.
If you enjoy being organized, you'll love Brian Tracy's book, even though it was written long ago, c. 2001, 2002.

Although the book is old, it's been very valuable to me in daily and weekly planning. I get a LOT MORE ACCOMPLISHED in using it. In fact, I'd loaned a copy to a friend, but she didn't return it, so I bought another copy via HPB. To me, thinking of having FROGS around my home is fun rather than seriously tedious. Brian Tracy has won me over with his interesting style of writing, and I recommend the book to many friends and relatives. ... but I don't plan to loan this second personal copy to anyone !!
