Eat That Frog!   ( book review) This book is an inspirational book about how to get things done by well known author, Brian Tracy.  The full title is Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time. It has a less than palatable title, but it totally agrees with the basic premise of the book, which is that Eating a frog is a metaphor that means doing the most important thing that matters the first thing in the morning. This is the task you are most likely to put off, it being most likely UNPLEASANT, but also probably the one that will have the greatest possible impact on your life. The book makes the premise ( which I wholeheartedly agree) that there is never time to do everything on your to do list, and there will never be.   Thus, instead of reading so many books on how to organize your life, and try to do the yeoman's job of chasing the completion of all tasks, you have to accept the fact that if you cannot get everything done, you might as well focus on the most important task first. This goes back to the 80:20 rule, which is that the most important top 20 percent of all your task will most likely determine 80 percent of your success, and instead of ticking it off one by one ( most people do their task list in list order, or worst, do the easiest always first), there is a good basis to believe you can be more success just focusing on these top 20 percent. Brian Tracy focuses on three vital rules of effective personal time management: decision, discipline and determination.   The book presents 21 ways to do this.  It is a short, practical book of only 144 pages, but nevertheless presents much more substance than many books thicker in size.
