Eat That Frog!: Get More Of The Important Things Done Today by Brian Tracy

Eat That Frog!: Get More Of The Important Things Done Today by Brian Tracy explores a simple reality: there is never enough time to complete everything on a ‘to do’ list. Rather than attempting to do it all, the book focuses on identifying what matters most and ensuring those tasks are completed.

Using the well-known ‘eat that frog’ saying as a metaphor, Tracy frames the “frog” as the day’s most challenging task: the one you are most likely to put off, yet the one that can make the biggest positive difference. The book sets out an approach for concentrating on these critical priorities and organising your day so you can work more quickly while staying focused on the right tasks.
