About this audiobook

Eat That Frog!
21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time, Third Edition, Updated with Two New Chapters

Eat That Frog! is one of the best books on time management ever written, an international bestseller with over a million and a half copies sold that's been translated into more than forty languages. Now Brian Tracy has updated this modern classic with two brand-new chapters, making it even more essential than before.

Tracy says 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 those get done. They eat their frogs.

There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life. Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day—and your entire life—so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

In this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first one explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important—in other words, to help you eat your frogs. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.

But one thing remains unchanged: Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective time management: decision, discipline, and determination. This life-changing book will ensure that you get more of your important tasks done—today!

  • 4/5
    This is a concise and enjoyable set of personal success aphorisms oriented around the themes of time management and taking initiative. Tracy's overall point is that successful people get there bit by bit, by acting daily on the most important steps, and by getting rid of the mental and schedule clutter that aren't as important.

    I got to say when i looked as this very small book i was worried that was useless. But actually i read it in one hour and really liked the concise information. It is really a very good little book on ideas to help with procrastination
  • 4/5
    Surprisingly non-awful. The closest thing to a motivational self-help book I want to read. Lots of good practical ideas, and it's short.
  • 3/5
    How to stop procrastinating so you can accomplish more and advance at twork.
  • 3/5
    Although this book is geared for leadership/management people, I found this just as valuable me as a retired person. It had some chapters that gave me some glimpse to my own shortcomings that when implemented will add purpose and value to my day.
  • 5/5
    This is a short but valuable book. The concepts covered are important and well stated. I will try to apply them to my life. Most concepts are simple and perhaps are logical but often not followed. I strongly recommend this book.
  • 3/5
    Well written but heard it all before. Short so a good refresher.
  • 5/5
    A great simple book that summarizes what you need to do to be productive and successful.
  • 4/5
    This book has lots of good ideas for time management and goal setting. Though there wasn't really any new information, it was a really nice refresher. The chapters were pretty short, so I felt like I was making progress every time I picked up this book to read some. I like the idea of "eating the frog" first.

    A few years ago, I mentioned this book (based only on what I read about it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble's website) during a short talk I gave at t Junior League board meeting about time management. I remember that the "eat the frog" part made several people chuckle. Now I wish I'd read the book beforehand, especially since I know now that it was a pretty quick read.
  • 3/5
    The basic premise of this book is that you take the least favourite task you have to do in a given day and do it first thing. Get it over with. Quite good advice if you can follow it. There's more similar advice in this book on goal setting, achieving objectives and so on, but it does all feel a bit unoriginal.
  • 4/5
    Concise roundup of tips.
  • 2/5
    A very generic self-help book that draws strongly on other self-help books. On the plus side, it lines up with a lot of my own personal views and was very short. On the negative side, my wife and daughter are already tired of me talking about eating frogs.
  • 4/5
    Read for a workshop. Didn't particularly find any new ideas, but they were certainly presented in a memorable way.
  • 5/5
    Great Motivational book! Wish I had read it 10 years earlier
  • 5/5
    very good and practical tips. if you want to increase your productivity, and get the book
  • 5/5
    IF YOU WANT SOME REAL DEAL BOSS SKILLS. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ/LISTEN HAVE YOUR NOTES READY.
  • 4/5
    Find out what's the most important task you need to get done in order to achieve your goals. Start working on it the first thing in the morning, and don't stop until you're finished.

    Although you'd think of some of Tracy's advice as common sense, and several chapters just hit the same point from different angles, precisely reading the whole thing has finally made it click in my head.
