Eat That Frog

Brian Tracy takes his title from a line often attributed to Mark Twain: if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you can go through the day knowing the worst is over. For Tracy, the frog is your biggest, most important task, the one you are most likely to put off. He offers twenty-one methods to deal with procrastination, including planning each day in writing, applying the 80/20 rule, ranking tasks by priority from A to E, and focusing on one thing at a time.

It is a quick read for students, managers, and anyone who struggles to start the work that matters. You finish with a handful of habits for ordering tasks and getting started.

Practical, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.
