Who hasn't experienced this: long to-do lists, both professional and private, and the expectation, especially from ourselves, to get everything done as quickly as possible? Why does this seem so hopeless to us while others succeed effortlessly?
The answer: Successful people don't try to get everything done in the first place. They set priorities and work on the most critical task first – disciplined until it is done.
The book's title, "Eat That Frog," is a metaphor for this. It comes from an American proverb that says if you eat a live frog in the morning, you've completed the most difficult task of the day.
In 21 chapters, you'll learn 21 practical techniques that should help you overcome your inner laziness and organize your to-dos and your day so that you can focus on the essential tasks and accomplish them with motivation, efficiency, and effectiveness.
The book is clearly structured, reduced to the essentials, and easy to read. The techniques are well explained, immediately applicable and helpfully summarized again at the end of the book.
If your inertia is bothering you and you're constantly getting bogged down in unimportant activities, this is the book for you. If you're an effective worker, you're probably already using some of these techniques, but you're sure to discover a new one or two.
