Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time | |
NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED
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 these critical tasks and organize your day. You'll not only get more done faster, but get the right things done.
Bestselling author Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline, and determination. In this fully revised and updated second edition, he provides brand new information on how to keep technology from dominating your time. He details twenty-one practical and doable steps that will help you stop procrastinating and get more of the important tasks done—today!

This book is much more about "best practices" for productivity vs overcoming procrastination. ("The Now Habit" by Niel Fiore is a much better resource on understanding and overcoming procrastination.) Nonetheless, "Eat That Frog" is a timeless collection of useful productivity tips.
It's a quick read on fundamental principles of time-management. Clearly laid-out for quick reading and reference. As a professional guru on "productivity," I didn't learn anything new, but I enjoyed the stories, metaphors, and analogies used to make important points. I also believe in reviewing solid principles frequently.
I would recommend this book to young and seasoned professionals who are looking to make the best use of their time and energy.
I read this book in a day. I'm not an avid reader or a speed reader but this book is so fluid I just kept reading.
I knew I needed to get my act together. I couldn't get started. I had the motivation but pooped out half way through every attempt. I procrastinated living for almost 3 years after an unexpected life event and I was sick of it. I wasn't a hoarder or a slob, I just let papers pile up, didn't file things or really finish any project I started. This simple easy book did the trick. Follow the rules and your whole life will begin to clear up. I was able to do more work in 24 hours than in almost 3 years. The concepts are easy, and most people know them, you just need to apply them in the right order, with the right mindset, and that's part of what the book teaches you. Take a chance, read the book!
This book is OK...
It contains what I think is generally good advice regarding time management.
My main issue is that I've read a lot of the very specific advice before in Getting Things Done by David Allen, and 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.
If you've read both of those books, there is really no reason to read this one. In fact I'd recommend reading both of those instead, because they cover everything in this and more.
What's covered in this books is in a nutshell:
-a RELENTLESS focus on the MOST IMPORTANT tasks over the less important. The author reminds you that you will NEVER be caught up with everything you have to do, and the average person has somewhere between 110%-140% of what they can actually handle on their plate. Getting caught up is should not be the goal, rather honing in on the 3 MOST IMPORTANT tasks of 20, and making sure those get done even though they are the hardest, most complicated, time consuming, boring, etc. is a major key to success.
-Pareto Principle a.k.a 80/20 rule.
-Make lists of everything you need to do.
-Learn to plan and identify NEXT ACTIONS in advance. He recommends a daily / weekly / monthly split, but I think there are better ways to go about this.
-Pick the hardest, but most important and meaningful tasks first.
-Don't let setbacks phase you. observe them, observe your feelings, acknowledge them, but continue.
One other comment about the book, the font must be 20 pt, very large, and it's a short book at only 120 pages. It took my only about 2-3 hours to read. I subtract points for this, b/c although some great books can be short - in the particular style that the author writes, you won't find deep meaning or context in his message.
He may tell you to pick the hardest, most important task first for example, but without a well-written anecdote, or interesting statistic, it's more difficult to fully contextualize his advice and some of it gets lost.
Overall, good advice, but I've read most of it before in the two aforementioned books. Had I not read Gettings Things Done or 4 Hour Work Week, I would have probably given this a 3.5 / 4.
An ok read, doesn't take too long, but I'd recommend GTD and 4HWW over this.
This was not a revolutionary or ground-breaking book, but it's a very simple, easy-to-consume book on time management. This is perfect for busy individuals who want something short and sweet, with effective techniques and tips that can be applied *immediately*.
There's not a lot of theory, there's not a lot of fluff. There are some things that are repeated throughout the book which simply emphasizes it's importance.
It actually has very little to do with procrastination. I guess the solution to procrastination is action.
