Eat That Frog!

21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less

By: Brian Tracy

Narrated by: Brian Tracy

Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

It’s time to stop procrastinating and get more of the important things done! After all, successful people don’t try to do everything. They focus on their most important tasks and get those 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 so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively. The core of what is vital to effective time management is: decision, discipline, and determination. And in this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.

This life-changing book will ensure that you get more of your important tasks done today.

Good tactics, but reader is too soothing

I'll use many of the tactics presented. The book is short enough that I'll listen again in the future after making habits of a handful. I also bought the workbook supplement. the reader was way too mellow for my liking. it can put you to sleep. I would have liked a more enthusiastically and motivational reader.

All in one, masterful, presentation of what it takes to get everything you want!

Highly recommend. I will delisted monthly! Quick and easy read yet packs a powerful punch!

A condensed version of Tracy's better works.

EAT THAT FROG was a good audio filled with great principles for achievement and Self-discipline and Motivation but it once again is a summary of his better audiobooks such as NO EXCUSES: THE POWER OF SELF DISCIPLINE and THE ULTIMATE GOALS PROGRAM, two works which indeed are 5 Star Classics. This audiobook is a great introduction to the more advanced, in-depth audiobooks of Brian Tracy, especially for someone who never listened to him before. And EAT THAT FROG is great for us Brian Tracy fans who might not have 6, 7, 8 or 13 hours to listen to his Classic unabridged material like THE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT or MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT. Therefore, this audiobook is great if you need to learn something useful and profound and necessary while going to sleep or cleaning the house/apt. or while on a long drive, etc. As the saying goes "An idle mind is the Devil's Workshop" so "Selah" and constantly listen to this relatively brief yet very good audio recording of Brian Tracy!

a book with directions

this book does not preach over and over what you should do but gives clear directions on how to eat a frog!

Terrible Narration

Timeless tactics delivered by the wrong person. The task of narration should have been outsourced to a professional.

Best book on schedule management

I learned so much from this book on how to approach schedule management. I also heard some tips reiterated from other books do they reaffirmed great schedule management.

Best Productivity Book Ever

Tracy is a master, listen to him! This book has revolutionized my life, this is my second time reading it and I'm getting even more nuggets out of it.

Hard Pass

Struggled to get through. Person reading did not have a pleasant voice to listen to but worse of all was that this was just a regurgitation of all the one liners they've ever heard about being more productive or goal oriented. It lacked depth and I did not enjoy it. I'd listen to a Napoleon Hill book, which they reference a lot.

The 2nd edition is better.

This version has less passion and lacks the emphasis is some areas compared to the second edition. Unfortunately that better version isn't available on Audible at this time. The information is great, but the delivery of the information also matters.

Catchy title, shame about the contents

Nothing in this that's not been said before in much better books. Write a to do list, prioritise it, focus, turn off distractions, etc, etc.

Very useful and has given me immediate help

Much of this is not new.
But organised and put it context it is very useful. Now it’s up to me, to eat that frog… Thank you!

Super Good. Must listen everyone.

Definetly in Top5 in my list so far. Easy to listen and understand all .

Very practical

Gave very good, practical tips but I would have to re-read it. To implement everything would be overwhelming.

Listen it again, again and again ....

Loved it. I am going to listen it again, perhaps buy the book as well.

Absolutely fantastic

Coupled with a bit of Jim Rohn, this makes an motivation cocktail.
Learning how to work is so so important,
Eat that frog!

Action packed book

Many useful and simply implementable tips into your daily life as well as a career.

Really enjoyed this book

This book has useful tips on how to get things done and be more productive. Do the task that you don’t want to do first… I put that into action, doing my task made my afternoon better and more productive, I’ve now got to keep it up.

Little things we overlook

It’s a good book to remind yourself of a healthy routine you once had and would also help you get back into it faster than you left.

Life changing

A well written,fantastically delivered listen. i personally am on a committed self improvement journey, ive taken that first step. in Brians book, ive picked up so much great stuff, that i will absorb and act on, i am already incorporating his advice into my daily life now. I can see i was sort of on tge right path, but vering off, with diffused effort. i will listen to this book over and over. It is excellent value for money. it to the point and the message is not lost in extended waffle. 10 out of 10.
