Summary
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！

Some really useful tips & strategies but also very geared towards moving forward and climbing the corporate ladder。 I don’t want to work on an entire cross country flight or 2-3 hours before work。 But I do want to work smarter & harder during my work blocks。

Brian Tracy has found a new way of looking at those things that we need to do but continue to put at the bottom of our 'things to do' stack。 Eat That Frog is a graphic way of looking at those challenges and get them done and out of the way。 It is a graphic picture of eating that biggest ugliest frog that you face and in doing so lifts the burden of eating it and frees us to focus on more productive things。 It is a short book （125 pages） but packed with lots of tools。 Brian Tracy has found a new way of looking at those things that we need to do but continue to put at the bottom of our 'things to do' stack。 Eat That Frog is a graphic way of looking at those challenges and get them done and out of the way。 It is a graphic picture of eating that biggest ugliest frog that you face and in doing so lifts the burden of eating it and frees us to focus on more productive things。 It is a short book （125 pages） but packed with lots of tools。 。。。more

This book had a lot of good advice and I liked that it was pretty straight forward and to the point。 However， I do feel like it’s geared more towards neurotypical people in really being able to succeed at doing these things habitually。

2。5 stars。 Finally got around to reading this two year overdue library book。 While there are some useful tips on habit development， I found the emphasis on becoming the best-cog-in-the-capitalist-machine-you-can-be gross。

Brian always delivers。 The book is at the very essence of what matters in task， time and life management。It boils down into 2 things1。 Start with the most important thing2。 Start sooner than later。 Start and get better at keeping at it， until its finished。

Listened to this audio book in one night。 A bit dated， but this struck a chord with me and I'm definitely going to incorporate some of these ideas into my work life。 I'm going to listen to it again soon。 Listened to this audio book in one night。 A bit dated， but this struck a chord with me and I'm definitely going to incorporate some of these ideas into my work life。 I'm going to listen to it again soon。 。。。more

As someone who naturally loves being organized， the tips were slightly common sense。 However there were many helpful and practical tips to be used in work and life！ One thing I found was that it slightly misses the idea of rest and humanizing the readers who need a break。 Otherwise definitely worth a read！！

Visst， en del saker säger sig självt， men ändå inte bortkastad lästid。 Vissa självklarheter är det inte så dumt att påminnas om - repetition är ju trots allt kunskapens moder - och en del nya tankar introduceras också。 Hädanefter kommer jag aldrig prokrastinera， utan bli supereffektiv。 Fråga gärna hur det gick。

I have never procrastinated on a book like I did on this one。 It took me seven years to read this 120 page book。 Brian Tracy has some good advice to give， but it's all fairly standard。 I have never procrastinated on a book like I did on this one。 It took me seven years to read this 120 page book。 Brian Tracy has some good advice to give， but it's all fairly standard。 。。。more

What do frogs and procrastination have in common？ According to author Brian Tracy， they are one and the same！Metaphorically， of course。 "Eat That Frog！" is a self-help book that appears to be aimed at young students due to its bright green cover art with a picture of a frog clinging to a clock （reminiscent of a middle school science book）。 However， it is actually a great book that people of any profession can read in order to learn how to stop procrastinating and get on with improving themselves What do frogs and procrastination have in common？ According to author Brian Tracy， they are one and the same！Metaphorically， of course。 "Eat That Frog！" is a self-help book that appears to be aimed at young students due to its bright green cover art with a picture of a frog clinging to a clock （reminiscent of a middle school science book）。 However， it is actually a great book that people of any profession can read in order to learn how to stop procrastinating and get on with improving themselves。 And yes， even students can benefit from the 21 tips on beating procrastination。Let us start with the strange metaphor。 According to the author， each time procrastination shows up in the midst of an important task you should be working on， that procrastination should be imagined as an annoying frog that distracts you（I have no idea why; this is Mr。 Tracy's metaphor to the readers）。 These frogs must be eaten in order to proceed with completing your important work and eventually achieving life goals。The book is in the format of a sort of handbook， each chapter listing and explaining the ways in which readers can stop procrastinating。 From planning tasks beforehand to utilizing technology to your advantage， readers will find the tips and tricks useful when they apply them in their lives。 The style the author writes is very easy to understand and even easier to remember the main points。 And in case you have trouble remembering， at the end of each chapter is a segment called 'Eat That Frog！' which tells the reader to immediately take action based on the lesson discussed in the chapter。 Best of all， the book is very short and can be read and re-read whenever you need help with reducing （or even eliminating） procrastination。"Eat That Frog！" is a fantastic little book that deserves frequent look-backs whenever you feel constrained in your daily tasks or projects。 It will help you open your mind to the many possibilities in finding the best way to finishing your work or studies faster。 As bizarre as the frog metaphor is， the steps in the book are very effective in helping readers quickly deal with their procrastination problems。 Highly recommended！ 。。。more

It's a productivity book， what else can I add？ As it says， it provides 21 ways， or principles， on how to get things done。 I do not think the suggestions are bad but they are not revolutionary either。 For example， tips on planning a day in advance and setting priorities will be， most likely， outlined in every self-help book。One of the reviewers （yes， I read reviews） complained that the book contains many generalizations and I agree。 But also Brian Tracy clearly sets out his intention of being gen It's a productivity book， what else can I add？ As it says， it provides 21 ways， or principles， on how to get things done。 I do not think the suggestions are bad but they are not revolutionary either。 For example， tips on planning a day in advance and setting priorities will be， most likely， outlined in every self-help book。One of the reviewers （yes， I read reviews） complained that the book contains many generalizations and I agree。 But also Brian Tracy clearly sets out his intention of being general: “There are no lengthy departures into theory or research。 What you will learn are specific actions you can take immediately to get better， faster results in your work and to increase your happiness。” So I did not have any expectations for scientific research to be discussed。 If you think of it as a limitation or not， is up to you。I had another problem， though。 Let's refer to it as a clash of principles。 For instance， his third rule is “Apply the 80/20 Rule to everything”。 You know， 20% of what you do will bring 80% of results。 So focus on those 20% （given that they are key tasks）。 But then principle eight says: “Apply the Law of Three”。 It means the identification of three key tasks that account for 90% of your contribution。 So do I focus on three key tasks or on the tasks that are in my top 20% based on importance？ Is there a clash or I just missed some kind of a nuance？？？ Also I won't discuss how Brian Tracy argues that good time management and productivity is to give yourself more time to foster meaningful relationships and that work-life balance is important （see principle 8） but also in principle thirteen （"Put the Pressure on Yourself"） he says: “Make a game of starting a little earlier， working a little harder， and staying a little later。” OK， work hard but don't you try to improve your time management so you don't have to come earlier or stay longer？ But I like how "Eat that frog！" sounds。 It's a good line - very memorable。 。。。more
