Recommendation
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, 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.

4 years agoAmazing book from an amazing mentor !
I've been reading Tracy's work for years and I always learn new tricks, as repetition is mother of all skills.
Eating a fat frog first thing is he morning is an image that stick in the mind and one can only remember it when it's time to do so.
However, it's very important to have a clear goal in mind if you want to work toward it, I know I missed that for years...
As for managing my tasks, our team created a free online tool called Zenkit, along with an article about "frog eating" and we would love to have your feedbacks.
