The international bestselling guide to managing time and prioritizing tasks in a fully revised and updated edition featuring 2 new chapters!
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 Brian 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.

Not with this one. I m eating frogs daily and feeling better for it! I can t recommend Eat That Frog! enough.

I wasn t expecting all that much from the book initially, as the whole eating a frog seemed like some new age nonsense that didn t really apply in real life. I couldn t have been more wrong. The best thing about this book is that it actually tells you what you should do. It doesn t just spout philosophy after philosophy about dreams and hope. It gives solid, practical advice that applies to pretty much every one students, employees, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, etc. Whether you re having time management issues or not, I d recommend you pick up this book. You re sure to learn something useful from it.
