Eat That Frog Chapters

Selected Chapters from Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy

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 critical tasks and organize each day. You'll not only get more done faster but get the right things done.
