Finished Reading: “Eat That Frog!”
I ran across a reference to “Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time,” by Brian Tracy, in one of my many magazines and found the title intriguing enough for a follow up. I stopped by the local library and saw that it was available, wasn’t too terribly long, and decided to check it out.
Unfortunately, it sat on my desk for a few weeks and I only decided to pick it up when I got the library courtesy reminder that it was due in a few days (how’s that for procrastination…).
I finally found some time to start and polish it off today (it’s only a 113 pages, so it’s a quick read).
The title refers to an old saying that states 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. Overall. it’s pretty straightforward and direct and there’s nothing terribly revolutionary here – just some common sense, logic and discipline.
