Why you should read Eat That Frog

We all have our frogs - important tasks that we’ve put off for whatever reason. The key to success is to eat your frogs quickly, completely and with focused determination. So says Brian Tracy, the master of hard-nosed time management. You’ll find no touchy-feely personal development pabulum here. The message of this book: Action leads to accomplishment. With that simple rule in mind, Tracy rolls out tools and techniques that will get you off your backside and into motion. getAbstract.com, while uneager to take up noshing on amphibians (well, maybe just the legs, in plenty of garlic butter), strongly recommends this book to anyone caught in the swamp of procrastination.

    This is a How-to manual:

    -How-to prioritize your tasks
    -How-to manage your time
    -How-to stay focused
    -How to set goals and achieve them
    -How-to be successful

    To quote the author and the abstract, "The ability to concentrate single-mindedly on your most important task, to do it well and to finish it completely, is the key to great success."

    This is a must read if you find you are getting behind on your to-do list and need some effective, quick tools to get back on track.

    I'm highly interested with all these business books abstracts. Can you please offer me at least two full book summaries so that I can pass through them and get real picture on what are all about.

    I really want to develop my career on business management by purchasing and reading these abstracts on financial management,management accounts, HR and Project management.

    This book opened my mind to organizate my rotine.
    It was important to organization and priorization of all activities in my work that I use since 2008.
    Actually I use 10% of my time to Plan and the results were very good until now.
