The legendary Eat That Frog! (more than 1.5 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 42 languages) will change your life. 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 they get done.
There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it's probably the worst thing you'll do all day. Using "eat that frog" as a metaphor for tackling the most challenging task of your day—the one you are most likely to procrastinate on, but also probably the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life—Eat That Frog! shows you how to zero in on these critical tasks and organize your day. You'll not only get more done faster, but get the right things done.
Bestselling author Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline, and determination. In this fully revised and updated second edition, he provides brand new information on how to keep technology from dominating your time. He details twenty-one practical and doable steps that will help you stop procrastinating and get more of the important tasks done—today!.

This is an above average collection of commonly known time management tactics. They almost hang together as a strategy. One unwarranted assumption the author makes is that everyone has 100% control of their workday priorities. I have a very flexible job and still only control between 20% and 60% of my time. There is nothing really new here, but may be worth listening to (or reading) if you need some reminding of what you should be doing. ( )

Good stuff! I already do most of these things, but it's nice to see them explained clearly. Reading this was a good motivator. ( )

Random figures, excessive repetition, obscure quotes. A few good ideas which can be picked up by skimming through. ( )

I was thoroughly impressed with the content of the book. The author presents a unique and effective approach to goal setting and task prioritization that has helped me stay motivated and focused on my priorities. The concept of "eating the frog" - tackling the most difficult task first thing in the morning - has completely transformed the way I approach my day and has made me more productive and efficient. The writing style is engaging and easy to understand, and the practical tips and strategies provided in the book are extremely valuable. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to increase their productivity and reach their goals faster. ( )
